PRFs – key problem-solving tool

• The Professional Responsibility Form (PRF) process enables RNs and RPNs to document concerns about workload, safety, patient care and other nursing practice issues. Filing PRFs pays off for nurses and patients. Article 59 is the Professional Responsibility clause in the Provincial Collective Agreement.
  
  
• PRFs are our best tool for defending our professional standards and our practice, and holding employers accountable for their responsibility to provide resources needed to keep patients and nurses safe
