Established in 1908, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) has evolved through and survived many times of triumph and tumult over the decades (CNA 2024a). But few times have found CNA in a tougher position than it is in today as we juggle the need to provide strong and effective advocacy, stewardship of the profession, a wide range of member services and a constant effort to attract voluntary members. Sustaining CNA as the national and global voice of professional nursing in Canada needs decisive support from the nurses of Canada. In this commentary, the current and past chief executive officers reflect on CNA's legacy of success and call on nurse leaders to rally support for an exciting and effective national professional association.
成立于 1908 年的加拿大护士协会（CNA）在过去几十年中经历了多次胜利和动荡（CNA 2024a）。但很少有像今天这样，CNA 处于一个更加艰难的境地，因为我们需要在提供强有力和有效的宣传、专业管理、广泛的会员服务以及不断努力吸引志愿者会员之间取得平衡。要使 CNA 成为加拿大专业护理的国家和全球声音，就需要加拿大护士的果断支持。在这篇评论中，现任和前任首席执行官回顾了 CNA 的成功传统，并呼吁护理领导者团结起来支持一个令人兴奋和有效的国家专业协会。
