CRNB Continuing Education Tutorial: Bridging the Gap

Introduction

A dedicated group of health care professionals have developed and reviewed the CRNB Continuing Education Tutorial. The Tutorial is offered by CRNB in the spirit of collaborative knowledge sharing and development with no registration or registration fee required.

The costs of the program have been summarized to help you determine which resource books you require, as well as registration fees for courses that you will need to take to complete the tutorial. The tutorial itself has no registration fee.

The exam section is currently under development. When completed you will be able to register to take the exam and once completed a certificate will be issued. We are in the process of applying to health care professional groups for continuing education credits.

We invite you to browse the tutorial and send comments to contact@crnb-rcnb.ca as we continue to modify and develop this valuable resource.
