We have a brand-new website!
You’ll notice our website looks a little different now. We’re excited to announce we’ve redesigned it to ensure you can continue to access the information you need quickly and easily.
When developing the new site, we made sure it was easy to use and understand for everyone. This means that nurses, applicants, members of the public, nurse employers and all our partners in safety can continue to access the information they need quickly and easily.
Our new website has a clean and open design, so you can easily find the information you need. When you arrive at the site, you can identify yourself (for example, as a nurse, or as a student, etc.) to see the content most relevant to you. We also created a more powerful search function that allows you to sort results according to relevancy. The new site will be easier to navigate when you use your cellphone, as it’s now fully responsive and will display correctly on any device.
It was important to us that cno.org be accessible and barrier-free for everyone, so we worked with experts in web design and accessibility optimization to develop a website completely compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. We’re committed to ongoing audits to ensure it remains up to date with all users’ needs.
We’ve been making more than just cosmetic changes: the refreshed cno.org is the place where you can go for informative, heartfelt and interesting stories about nurses and the nursing profession, in addition to the most up-to-date information about changes to nursing practice.
More updates on the way
We know our website isn’t the only point of contact you have with CNO—Find a Nurse, which is our public register, and Maintain Your Membership should also be streamlined, accessible, and easy to use.
On Find a Nurse, a big change we’re working on is removing the tabs on the member profile pages so the information is easier to read. We made this change based on feedback from nurses and employers and after reviewing how other regulators structured their public registers.
We’re also making updates to enhance the security of Maintain Your Membership and the applicant portal by adding new Multi-Factor Authentication and session time-out features to help keep your account secure. Look for the updates to Find a Nurse to be live in the next few months, and the changes to the portals in 2025.
You can learn more about the new site and hear news about upcoming changes to Find a Nurse and Maintain Your Membership by visiting cno.org or checking us out on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or X (Twitter).
