The Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union is a professional union representing over 8,000 nurses in the province.

The Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union (NSNU) is a professional union representing over 8,000 Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners in Nova Scotia hospitals, long term care facilities, adult residential centres and community nursing practices. As a member organization of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, we join with 200,000 nurses and student nurses across Canada, advocating for improved patient care, safe and fair working conditions and the protection of the Canadian healthcare system. The NSNU collaborates with other provincial unions on awareness campaigns, and is also affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress. Uniquely, the NSNU is the only union in Nova Scotia that exclusively represents nurses, and the only union representing all three nursing designations.

ATTENTION: The rally scheduled for today has been cancelled. A tentative agreement has been reached on behalf of CUPE School Support Staff.
****************************************
The Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union stands in solidarity with CUPE members, whose work is essential to students and communities across our province.

We encourage NSNU members to stand united with school support workers during this challenging labor dispute. We call on government to secure a fair agreement that truly reflects the value and dedication of these workers.

There will be a rally this Saturday, October 31st at the office of Brendan Maguire, Minister of Education at 11:00 am, 349 Herring Cove Rd. Bring your NSNU signs, noisemakers, and voices!

Today in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, unions reps and health care workers gathered in support of locked out CUPE members who are fighting for better wages and respect.

NSNU President Janet Hazelton was invited to speak at the rally, offering words of support and solidarity for those workers. Janet is in Corner Brook attending the Registered Nurses’ Union Newfoundland and Labrador (RNUNL) Biennial Convention.

The NSNU Board of Directors stands in solidarity with the National Executive Board of the CFNU in advocating for safe nurse-patient ratios.

Regularly, nurses are responsible for more patients than they feel they can safely care for. That’s why nurses across Canada are calling for safe staffing measures. Safe staffing is about more than numbers. It’s about nurses having the time, resources and support to provide safe care. Safe staffing is about protecting nurses at work and building a stronger, more sustainable health care system. Nurse-patient ratios save lives, Canada-wide. Learn more at ratios.nursesunions.ca
