Nursing Data Dashboard
The self-serve dashboard allows users to access CNO data through a reliable, transparent, accessible and easy-to-use portal. The dashboard includes information about registration classes (General, Extended and Non-Practising), demographic data, and employment data, such as areas of practice and working status. You can view nursing trends in Ontario between 2014 and 2023.
At CNO, the privacy of Ontario nurses is paramount and no personal, identifiable information is available through the dashboard.
The dashboard supports CNO’s strategic plan and its initiative to provide insights through a data-driven approach to address impacts occurring in the system.
