What is the Danish Nurses' Organization?
The Danish Nurses' Organization is a trade union. Think of a trade union as a team that helps people who do the same kind of work. For example, the DNO helps nurses. They work to make sure nurses have fair pay, good working hours, and a safe place to work. They also help nurses learn new things and improve their skills.
How the DNO Helps Nurses
The DNO works hard to support nurses in many ways. They talk to hospitals and the government to make sure nurses are treated fairly. They also help nurses if they have problems at work. Being part of a union like the DNO gives nurses a stronger voice together than they would have alone.
DNO's Connections with Other Groups
The Danish Nurses' Organization is connected to other big groups. It is part of the FTF – Confederation of Professionals in Denmark, which is a large group of different professional unions in Denmark. The DNO is also connected to Public Services International (PSI), which is a worldwide group for people who work in public services, like healthcare. These connections help the DNO learn from and work with other similar organizations around the world.
The DNO's Inspiring Motto
The Danish Nurses' Organization has a motto that guides its work: We move borders—in the organization, profession and society. This means they are always trying to improve things. They want to make their own organization better, help the nursing profession grow, and make positive changes in society for everyone. It shows they are always looking for new ways to help nurses and the people they care for.
