CNO is pleased to announce the launch of our redesigned website. Our website is a critical source of information for many in the health care system, and ensuring it works optimally helps us to promote safe nursing practice.
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.
“The website is often the first point of contact people have with CNO,” said Floyd Garvey, the director of information technology at CNO. “It’s exciting to offer a more refined experience for those who visit cno.org. The new site has been thoughtfully redesigned to prioritize accessibility, responsiveness across different devices, and enhanced search capabilities.”
To ensure the re-designed website would be accessible and provide a barrier-free experience for everyone, 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 are committed to ongoing audits to ensure it remains up to date with all users’ needs.
Other updates to the new site include a clean and open design, the option to identify yourself (for example, as a nurse, or as a student, etc.) to see the content most relevant to you, and the ability to search and sort through news items to find current information more easily. The new site is also fully responsive to display correctly on any device, since most people now visit cno.org using a cell phone.
Return to cno.org often to read informative, heartfelt and interesting stories about nurses and the nursing profession, as well as the most up-to-date information about changes to nursing practice.
