CPCNA Memberhip Survey 2021

We want to hear from you!

The Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association continually strives to ensure we are offering events and resources which individuals will find useful and supportive of their practice. To be sure we are not making assumptions about that need, we ask that you take approximately 5 minutes to complete this survey. Members and Non-Members are welcome to share their views.

Your answers are anonymous. Information provided will be tabulated and presented as a collective. All data will support strategic planning efforts of the Board.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to help us develop to be an Association that is valuable to you.

If you have questions about this, you can email us at cpcnainfo@gmail.com.

Thank you so much.
