Group learning is an important continuing professional development (CPD) activity for nurses. It provides an opportunity to confirm or expand areas of knowledge and identify potential new therapies or approaches for practice. It also enables nurses to share practice issues or experiences with peers.
Important information before you begin
Group learning activities approved by CNA must be developed or co-developed by a nursing organization.
CNA defines “nursing organization” as a not-for-profit group of health professionals with a formal governance structure. The organization serves and is accountable to its specialist nurse members and others by providing continuing professional development (CPD), health care, and/or research.
Please visit our website for a full definition or contact CNA to confirm before submitting an application. You can also read our policies for non-nursing organizations.
