The Registered Nurses Database (RNDB) contains supply and distribution information for registered nurses (RNs) in Canada. Historically, Statistics Canada was responsible for the collection and dissemination of registered nursing data and produced the publication series Revised Registered Nurses Data Series from 1980 to 1988, and Registered Nurses Management Data from 1989 to 1998. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) assumed responsibility for data collection and management in the 1996 data year, and for dissemination in the 1999 data year. The CIHI publication series is now titled Supply and Distribution of Registered Nurses in Canada.
Data elements included in the RNDB are divided into three categories: Demographic Characteristics, Employment Characteristics, and Education Characteristics. For information on the individual data elements see the RNDB section of the CIHI website.
The project, Nursing Practice in Rural and Remote Canada, used the RNDB to provide statistical and demographic profiles of rural and remote nurses.

It takes the cooperative efforts of many individuals and organizations to undertake nation-wide projects such as the Nursing Practice in Rural and Remote Canada Study. |
