Continuing Competence Program 2023
Did you know that the CCP process is similar to the nursing process? Meaning that you self-assess, develop a learning plan and then later in the year evaluate the results of your plan. Now is the time for you to complete your self-assessment and choose at least one indicator that you will focus on for 2023.


Visit NANB's website for more information.

Supporting Graduate Nurses and Graduate Nurse Practitioners
#DidYouKnow: As a practicing RN or NP, you are responsible to support new graduate nurses and nurse practitioners by sharing your nursing knowledge and expertise, and by acting as role models, preceptors and/or mentors. By doing this, you are helping strengthen the nursing workforce while improving quality of care and patient outcomes. Linked below are resources that can assist RNs and NPs to support transition to practice.
