Abstract

We will explore the CHNC Standards through storytelling and guided reflection. The CHNC Professional Practice Model and Standards of Practice, informs the practice of CHN to meet the goal of creating a healthy Canada. We will provide a practical overview of the 2019  update to the model and standards of practice for CHN. Our committee will facilitate a discussion surrounding the nine new practice expectations. The nine new practice expectations include cultural competency, Indigenous ways of Knowing, levels of prevention, disease management, critical appraisal, knowledge translation, interprofessional competencies, and quality improvement. This open session will be interactive as we explore relational practice as a fundamental aspect of community health nursing practice. In the stories, we will find answers to support the integration of the CHNC practice model, standards. This session will provide information to support CHN, students, educators, and managers key information to take back to the workplace and for their own nursing practice.  We want to share and give a voice to the innovation, flexibility, and resilience of community health nurses through a discussion of the variety of ways we live our standards of practice in our daily work.
