Philosophy of the Canadian Orthopaedic Nurses

The Canadian Orthopaedic Nurses Association believes that nurses who provide care to individuals with neuromuscular and skeletal disorders require a specific body of knowledge and skills to deliver the highest standard of care. We believe that this knowledge is acquired, maintained and advanced through basic knowledge, continuing education, practice and research.

Philosophie de l'Association canadienne des infirmières et infirmiers en orthopédie

L'Association canadienne des infirmières et infirmiers en orthopédie estime que les infirmières et infirmiers qui dispensent des soins à des personnes atteintes des troubles neuromusculaires et squelettiques ont besoin d'un bagage particulier de connaissances et de compétences pour assurer des soins de la plus haute qualité. Nous sommes d'avis que ces connaissances sont acquises, maintenues et perfectionnées grâce aux connaissances de base, à la formation continue, à l'exercice de la profession et à la recherche.
