Learning Modules

Learning Modules are designed to help nurses understand College practice standards and other related documents.

Modules

Overview

These learning modules allow you to work through a specific practice standard or guideline.

Each self-study module contains an introduction, learning objectives, content chapters, additional resources and a quiz. You can use the quiz, and subsequent score, to determine a specific learning objective.

The modules are supported by an e-mail link. A Practice Consultant will answer your questions and offer feedback.

Modules are confidential; we will not collect individual quiz scores.
