who bought the "professional Profile"?

by liton

Today I received the registration form and the professional profile discount coupon? I want to know how many of you bought it? Do I need to buy the "Professional Profile". Is it useful? I already had the compendium before the CRNE.

I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. What exactly does the coupon say? I don't have any sort of "professional profile" from the Canadian Nurses' Association, from CRNM or CARNA.

It's from CNO. http://www.cno.org/pubs/profprofile.html
She said I can pay $15+$5shipping fee=$20.

It looks similar to the Continuing Competence package that Alberta has. Here we're expected to select at least one but no more than three "indicators"* from a long list of them, assess our learning needs related to the indicator, develop a plan for meeting them, document everything and then assess whether we met our learning goals or not. We have to do this for registration each year. They don't want to see any of the documentation unless they do an audit, but we're expected to have done it. You might find the Professional Profile book useful for those kinds of activities, since all provinces have or will have a Health Professions Act that stipulates the process for continuing competence. I think Ontario is calling that "quality assurance".

* for example: 1.7- I regularly assess my practice and take the necessary steps to improve personal competence.
Another example: 2.7- I support, facilitate or participate in research relevant to nursing. (These were mine for this year ending on September 30.)
