THE LANDSCAPE

What's already on the record.

Eight figures from peer-reviewed research and federation reports. None of them are CareVoice numbers.

  • BACKGROUND — CFNU 2025 · n=4,736

    6 in 10

    Canadian nurses experienced violence at work in the past year

    What used to be 'part of the job' is now measured.

  • BACKGROUND — CFNU 2024 · n=5,595

    93%

    of Canadian nurses report symptoms of burnout

  • BACKGROUND — Aiken/Lancet 2021

    +7%

    patient mortality risk per extra patient assigned to a nurse

    Staffing isn't a comfort metric — it's a survival one.

THE PICTURE OVER TIME

What the data shows.

Rolling 30/90 days. Updated continuously.

The dashboard turns on when the data is honest.

We never publish a percentage with fewer than 30 responses behind it. Until each metric clears that floor, this section stays empty rather than show numbers we can't stand behind. Help us reach it — share CareVoice.ca, or report your own experience.

GEOGRAPHY

Where reports are coming from.

Per-capita intensity, last 90 days. Provinces with fewer than 5 reports are not displayed.

Canada — the map publishes when each province crosses 5 reportsNUNTYTBCABSKMBONQCNLNBNSPE

The map fills in as each province crosses 5 reports.

We never display a province below the k-anonymity floor — it could re-identify a single nurse on a small unit. Provinces light up as they each cross 5 submissions.

WHY THIS REGISTRY EXISTS

A reality kept silent

After more than 15 years working as an emergency nurse in Québec, I witnessed — and at times personally experienced — realities that are rarely spoken about publicly.

Verbal and physical aggression. Constant pressure. Harassment. Mandatory overtime. Colleagues in distress. Families affected.

These are not isolated incidents. They are recurring situations, often carried in silence.

Yet, these realities remain largely invisible. Nurses are talked about during negotiations, or when numbers make headlines — but much less about what they go through every day on the ground.

This project was created with a simple goal: to make these experiences visible, anonymously, through real-time data.

To understand. To acknowledge. And perhaps, to begin seeing what has long been overlooked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

About this registry

What is CareVoice?
CareVoice is an anonymous, public registry of working conditions reported by Canadian nurses — workplace abuse, mandatory overtime, burnout, retaliation after reporting, and the staffing pressures behind them. Reports are aggregated and published once per-province counts cross a privacy floor.
Is CareVoice anonymous?
Yes. We never ask for names, employer, licence numbers, or any identifier that could re-link a report to a person. Open-text narratives are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and we publish per-province cuts only when at least 5 reports exist for that cell. Percentages stay hidden until the denominator clears 30.
Who runs CareVoice?
CareVoice is a project of Nursio (1001511837 ONTARIO INC.), a small team building tools for and with Canadian nurses. The registry is independent of any union, hospital, government, or vendor.
How is CareVoice funded?
CareVoice is personally funded by its founder through Nursio. No advertising. No sponsorship from healthcare employers. No government funding tied to data access. There is nothing to buy on this site — no newsletter, no accounts, no paid tier. The data is anonymous; the funding model is transparent.
Why was CareVoice created?
Because the working conditions Canadian nurses describe — verbal and physical abuse, sexual harassment, sleeping three hours and driving home from a 16-hour shift, leaving the profession in their first two years — are documented privately in unions, surveys, and exit interviews, but they are not visible as a continuous public record. CareVoice exists to make that record exist.
What kinds of working conditions does CareVoice document?
Twelve modules: workplace abuse, institutional violence (mandatory overtime / TSO), burnout, retaliation after reporting, intent to leave, agency-vs-staff dynamics, new-grad onboarding, harassment and discrimination, pregnancy and postpartum, patient-safety near misses, family and personal life impact, and a general workplace section. Each module is opt-in and skip-anywhere.
How does CareVoice protect respondent privacy?
Three layers: (1) we collect no identifiers; (2) free-text narratives are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest; (3) k-anonymity floors at the SQL view layer mean cells with fewer than 5 reports are never returned, and percentages are never published with denominators below 30. The methodology page documents the floors in detail.
Can journalists or researchers cite CareVoice data?
Yes. Aggregated counts and percentages on this site are published under CC BY 4.0 with a citation attribution to CareVoice. Per-cell methodology, k-anonymity floors, and last-verified dates are documented on the methodology page. For press inquiries or methodology questions: contact@nursio.io.
How do I report my own working conditions?
Open the report flow from any page. The first screen is a short pre-screen and a crisis-resources notice; you can skip any module, any question, and you can leave without submitting at any point. Reports are de-duplicated by a session token, not by anything tied to your identity.
