APNA First Nations Nursing Advisory Group
The APNA First Nations Nursing Advisory Group was established this year to help guide and inform us and ensure that our programs are relevant and culturally safe for First Nations Nurses, their employers, and other stakeholders.
APNA is committed to diversity and inclusion. The Advisory Group will support APNA with valuable advice and guidance to meet the deliverables outlined in the APNA Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan 2024-2025.
About the Advisory Group
The Advisory Group will:
- Provide informed advice on materials, programs and initiatives impacting First Nations Nurses to encourage engagement and participation in APNA programs.
- Strengthen the voice of First Nations Nurses, their employers and stakeholders in APNA programs.
- Ensure that program content and materials are culturally appropriate, safe, and trusted by First Nations Nurses, their employers, and stakeholders.
- Generate new ideas and initiatives to encourage active participation and engagement of First Nations Nurses in APNA programs.
