Good Practices in Canadian Nursing Regulation

This presentation explores the good practices in Canadian nursing regulation, focusing on collaboration, accessibility, consistency, evidence-informed approaches, fair public protection, and the responsibilities of governing bodies. It highlights the Canadian Councils of Nurse Regulators, the National Nursing Assessment Service, and the Learning from Experience Project in Alberta as illustrations of these practices. The presentation also discusses the single window initiative for initial nurse registration in Canada and the National Nursing Assessment Service, which offers a harmonized approach to eligibility determination for international applicants. The project aims to improve the efficiency of internationally educated nurses' applications for registration and inform policy direction. It includes a retrospective analysis of international applicant information, registration policy and practice changes, and the goals of the Learning From Experience Project.
