The Nursing Students of Ontario (NSO), is the student arm of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO).

As a student-governed interest group of the RNAO, we represent and act as a resource for Ontario's nursing students. Our focus is on the needs, concerns and matters of the nursing student body.

September is Pain Awareness Month.

As nursing students begin a new academic year and prepare for clinical placements, this is an important time to build awareness of the many ways pain may be experienced and expressed.

Pain is not always visible, and patients may not always present in ways that are immediately recognizable. Developing awareness of this can support more thoughtful, person-centred assessment and help nursing students approach pain with greater understanding and sensitivity in practice.

For further learning, students can explore RNAO’s Pain: Prevention, Assessment and Management Best Practice Guideline:

To all first-year nursing students beginning this September, welcome to nursing school! 🩺📚

Starting nursing school is the beginning of a new learning journey filled with new experiences, challenges, connections and opportunities to grow.

As you settle into your first semester, remember that you are also becoming part of a wider nursing community. Connect with your RNAO Student Ambassador representative at your school, and reach out to the NSO Executive Team through the link in our bio to learn more about RNAO, student opportunities and ways to get involved.

We’re excited to welcome the next generation of nurses. 🧡

As September 8th approaches, we’re wishing nursing students across Ontario a great start to the new school year! 📚🩺

As you begin classes and prepare for the year ahead, consider adding RNAO’s Best Practice Guidelines and Transforming Nursing Through Knowledge to your learning resources. They can support your understanding of evidence-informed practice, nursing knowledge and how best practices are translated into care.

📖 Transforming Nursing Through Knowledge:

And remember, you do not have to navigate the year alone. Connect with your RNAO Student Ambassador representative at your school, or contact the NSO Executive Team through the link in our bio for support and ways to get involved.

Wishing you a successful first week and a great academic year ahead! 🧡

It’s great to see nursing students taking the lead and helping others learn more about RNAO and the opportunities available to them.

At Toronto Metropolitan University, Student Ambassadors Ceana Harrigan, Kesharaa Gunaraja and Komal Bajwa hosted an RNAO booth and classroom visits, connecting directly with fellow nursing students and bringing RNAO into their campus community.

We hope to see even more Student Ambassadors across Ontario take the initiative to bring RNAO to their own schools and create more opportunities for students to learn, connect and get involved.

Happy September, NSO members!

As we begin a new month and a new academic year, we’re continuing to share resources and opportunities that can support nursing students throughout the semester.

Following our recent post on clinical essentials, we’re highlighting upcoming RNAO chapter and interest group events taking place this September. Many are offered online, giving students greater flexibility to participate when classes, clinical placements and personal schedules permit.

We also encourage students to mark their calendars for the NSO × RNAO Fall Tour 2026 on Sept. 30 from 6–8 p.m. online. It’s a great opportunity to connect with NSO and RNAO as the academic year gets underway.

Take a look at what’s happening this month, explore the events that align with your interests, and stay connected with RNAO throughout the academic year.

Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost and recognize the importance of compassionate, evidence-informed care.

For nursing students, awareness matters. We can challenge stigma, strengthen our understanding of harm reduction, and learn how nursing care can make a difference.
