Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice

"Nursing standards demonstrate that a profession is dedicated to maintaining public trust and upholding the criteria of its professional practice" (from CNA Website April 2007). The Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice (CHNSoP) represent a vision for excellence in community health nursing. CHNAC took a leadership role in the development of the CHNSoP. They were developed by a representative committee of community health nurses and reflect the integration of feedback from an extensive Canadian community health nursing consultation. These standards, which reflect the values of Canadian community health nurses, were released on October 3, 2003 and re-released in March 2008.

Community Health Nursing Standards Toolkit - Binder Set

The Community Health Nurses Association of Canada (CHNAC), a federation of provincial/territorial community health nursing interest groups and members, released the Canadian Community Health Nursing (CCHN) Standards of Practice in May 2003. These Standards were accepted by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), leading to Community Health Nursing being recognized as a specialized field of nursing. The CCHN Standards Toolkit provides a process, tools and resources for raising awareness of the Standards and facilitating their use. It will be most effective if used as a whole. By building on and adapting existing organizational structures and practices the Toolkit aims to create an environment in which nurses are encouraged and supported to attain and maintain continuing competence. The Toolkit is also available in French.
