Building Capacity in Nursing
Leadership (posted 04/04/2010) Building a capacity in nursing
leadership by looking at succession planning is an essential
business strategy for healthcare organizations to deal effectively
with the future. It ensures that there will be qualified candidates
when key vacancies occur. Creating a professional work environment
where nurses can develop the skills and expertise needed to be
successful leaders is one strategy that can help. This conference
will identify key techniques for the development of leadership
skills and expertise among nurses, as well as address the challenges
faced as one transitions to higher levels of leadership. This conference is geared to
mid-level and senior level nurse administrators and those nurses
interested in pursuing a leadership position in the future. This
conference will provide the opportunity to dialogue with senior
nurse leaders and administrators and help to identify the next
generation of nursing. Funding may be available for Ontario RN’s and RPN's from the Nurse Education Initiative, which is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. For additional delations call
1-866-464-4405 or
educationfunding@rnao.org. NEW H1N1 Information (posted 11/18/2009) The following information is now available on the Public Health Agency of Canada website: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/

Name change announcement (CPNA to PN Canada) The Canadian Association of Practical Nurses (CPNA) formerly CAPNA is pleased to announce our new name. PRACTICAL NURSE CANADA( PNCanada). Over the years not only has our focus changed but the title by which Practical Nurses are addressed has changed. The Board of Directors felt the time had come to simplify our name and hopefully distinguish it from the many other accronyms that other organizations use that seem to frequently be confused with Practical Nurse Canada.
PNCanada continues to lobby for the profession of
Practical nursing at the National level. We promote our profession
as the "Fine Art of Hands on Nursing" and stress the need for
bedside nurses in all areas of nursing. PNCanada represents
Practical nurses at National conferences dealing with Human
Resource planning. The Directors meet with Ministers provincially
and federally to increase awareness of the important
role Practical Nurses can play in resolving the nursing shortage
in our country.
PNCanada is working hard to establish a National
Standard for Practical Nurses across the country. Employers want
to utilize Practicasl Nurses but frequently the varied scope of
practice complicates the decision makers job. PNCanada hopes to
achieve a standardized education program that will lead to a
standard scope of practice for all of Canada.

PNCanada sits as voting member of Canadian Patient
Safety Institute A Message from Dr. Michel Brazeau
Sharon Sholzberg-Gray, CEO and President, Canadian Healthcare Association, and I, have been mandated to carry out the mid-term evaluation of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI). We are assisted by Ben Chan, Barbara Mildon, Linda I. Poloway, and Ian C. White.
A survey of members of the institute and other organizations interested in patient safety activities is a key component of this process. A very small number of organizations across Canada, including yours, have been invited to take part in this very short survey (10 questions). You may wish to answer personally or refer this request to an appropriate respondent. To access the on-line questionnaire, simply click on the link below:
http://www5.dufferinresearch.com/dash3/DashLogin?id=dm707
A review of CPSI accomplishments and objectives, prepared by the CPSI, is attached for your information.
Data gathered in the survey and structured interviews will be aggregated and de-linked from the organizations and individuals who have provided it.
Structured 20 minute interviews with a limited number of the participants (approximately 50) will also be conducted as part of the evaluation process. The final question in the survey will allow you to signal your interest in participating in such an interview.
A very prompt response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information. |
