CNNB nurse consultants are available to help identify the appropriate resources to guide decision-making and help understand their accountabilities related to practice by:

  • explaining how the Code of Conduct for Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners and Standards of Practice apply to your situation;
  • helping guide decision-making through conversation and the application of resources;
  • helping identify accountabilities; and
  • referring to additional sources of information.

The goal is to help RNs/NPs access the resources and tools needed to make the best possible decisions to ensure safe, competent, compassionate and ethical nursing practice.
