Before you submit

Please note that the process is completed online and once you begin the application, you may not be able to save your progress and return to it later. Please ensure you have collected the required information and documents before you begin your application. We suggest drafting your descriptions in a text file to avoid losing any information.

Required information and documents:

  • Your demographic information, including current employer, licence/registration number, jurisdiction of registration and regulator (some fields are optional for those who do not have a current employer)
  • Your CV or resume (all styles accepted; must be PDF file)
  • A high-resolution photograph (see guidelines) to be used in the printed commemorative program
  • A four-part description of your individual contributions to nursing:
    • Statement of your individual contributions (maximum 165 words): Summarize your most outstanding individual achievements in clinical practice, policy, education, research and/or administration and describe the impact of these achievements on the improvement of nursing, health and/or health care. The impact can be at any geographic level, including international, national, provincial/territorial, and/or regional/local. Please write your statement in the third person perspective (i.e. using your name and/or preferred pronouns), and use language suitable for sharing with a public audience (e.g., posting on the Academy website).
    • Context of your contributions (maximum 300 words): Describe the context(s) in which your contributions to nursing, health and health care have been made. This might include mention of the roles you have held and the work that you have done in the context of those roles. If your key contributions have involved teamwork, explain your explicit role in relation to the team accomplishments.
    • Evidence of the impact of your contributions (maximum 600 words): Provide substantive evidence of the sustained and significant impact of your contributions to nursing, health and/or health care. Although different forms of nursing leadership are impactful in quite different ways, we encourage you to try to identify the measurable impact of your work. In addition, include what you consider to have potential for significant continuing impact on health, health care and/or the domains of nursing (i.e., clinical practice, policy, education, research and/or administration) resulting from your work. Be as specific as possible, providing explanation and data to support the impact of your contributions. Ensure that the information listed in your CV or resume and the nominator statements align as well as possible with the description you provide.
    • How your contributions relate to the Academy (maximum 150 words): Fellowship in the Canadian Academy of Nursing implies a commitment to service. How do you envision making an ongoing contribution to advancing the aims of the Academy?

When you are ready to submit

When you have all the required information and documentation ready, log in to the online Fellowship application system and do the following:

  • Enter your demographic information
  • Upload your CV or resume (PDF file) and high-resolution photograph (see guidelines)
  • Provide the four-part description of your contributions to nursing. The requirements are provided in the list above. This information needs to be prepared in advance, as once you begin your application, you may not be able to save your progress and return to it later.
  • Upload completed nominator forms [PDF]. Please note: nominator forms must be filled out in Adobe Acrobat. If the form opens in another application (e.g., your web browser), try right-clicking the file and select Open with Adobe Acrobat or change your computer’s settings. Two nominators are required for each application to become a Fellow. Ideally, at least one nominator will be a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Nursing. For candidates who do not have close working access to colleagues who are Fellows, we will accept nominations from other highly accomplished nurses (active or retired). For these nominations, please append a brief bio of the supporting nominator(s).

After you submit

You will receive an email immediately to confirm your application has been received. We will review your information carefully and follow-up with you on the status of your application.

Candidates will be notified of the outcome of their application upon completion of the review process.
