## WHY NURSING? 

Nurses make a real difference to the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities and populations—at home in Canada and globally. We influence the lives of others in so many ways. We know how the social determinants of health (e.g., safety, security) influence quality of life. We are internationally-renowned for our cutting edge contributions to health research, policy, practice and leadership. Are you ready to join us in making a real difference?
