WHEREAS there has been significant progress over the past several months in developing bylaws that respect the education and experience of registered nurses, registered nurses-nurse practitioners, registered psychiatric nurses, and licensed practical nurses.
AND WHEREAS important work remains to be done to ensure that practice guidelines and a decision-making framework are developed to interpret any changes and translate them into practice in an appropriate and safe manner within 90 days.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Saskatchewan registered nurses, registered nurse-nurse practitioners, and registered psychiatric nurses call on Minister Duncan to engage and direct the Ministry of Health, employers, the regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders to ensure that no practice changes will be implemented until all interpretive and practice decision-making documents have been finalized and agreed to by stakeholders.
