CFNU is the largest organization of nurses in Canada. It represents the nine largest nurses' unions in the country, from Newfoundland & Labrador to British Columbia, with a combined membership of over 125,000.

Founded in 1981, the CFNU is governed by a volunteer board comprised of the top officers of its member unions. The federation is led by a president and secretary-treasurer who are elected to two years terms by delegates to the biennial convention.

CFNU's mandate is to protect and promote at the Parliament and to the national government the interests of nurses, patients, and Canada's not-for-profit health care system.

CFNU's offices are in Ottawa.
