CRNM Website Undergoes Major RedevelopmenteJournal Readers Invited to Participate in Needs Assessment SurveyThe College’s website is about to undergo a major redevelopment over the coming months to better meet the needs of registered nurses, the public and other visitors to the site. As part of an extensive consultation process, readers of the eJournal are being invited to take part in a web-based survey. “Data from this survey will help ensure the new site is responsive to our audience and matches their needs with the appropriate tools and content,” Glenn Hildebrand, Director of Communications, Member and Government Relations said. “We need to hear from our stakeholders and customers to be sure we are delivering a useful and helpful product that meets all of our needs.” The web survey will be open until noon on March 12th. Use this link to participate in the survey. “Your opinions and views are important to us,” Hildebrand added. “The survey will only take about 5 minutes or so but the information it will provide will prove invaluable to the development of the new site.” The new site is expected to be launched this summer. 2008 CRNM ElectionThe College, in accordance with the CRNM bylaws, is seeking nomination of candidates for:
