YRNA Nursing Practice Support
YRNA provides nursing practice consultation in order to promote safe nursing care and prevent problems arising in nursing practice settings.
Nurses can experience difficulties in providing safe, quality care to clients and have concerns about handling professional problems and practice issues. Employers, colleagues and the public can have questions about nursing policies and practices.
If you have a professional problem or a question or concern about nursing practice—either related to a specific practice, a practice setting or a general nursing question—you can call the YRNA office for information. The YRNA office is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and professional nursing staff are available to offer support, advice and resource information to registered nurses, the public or others with an interest in health care services.
YRNA can assist by:
providing confidential support and advice to members and others regarding nursing practice;
assisting you to deal with practice problems or concerns about client care;
providing advice on nursing policies and procedures;
interpreting professional legislation, regulations, code of ethics, standards of practice and YRNA policy positions;
assisting you with the application of standards, guidelines and policies related to nursing practice
consulting with the Nursing Practice Committee or Registration Committee as appropriate;
