Toolkits

	NP Utilization Toolkit This unique toolkit, written from the nursing leadership perspective, provides essential information to inform NP utilization in hospitals. Key legislative and regulatory documents, which enable NPs to admit, treat, transfer and discharge hospital inpatients are provided alongside various tools for NP implementation and evaluation.
	Primary Care Toolkit This toolkit has been created to assist employers and primary health-care teams in developing structures and processes that allow primary care registered nurses (RN) and registered practical nurses (RPN) to increase their role responsibilities so that they reflect their full scope of practice, as outlined in the Primary Solutions for Primary Care report
	Taking Action: A toolkit for becoming politically involved This toolkit was developed to support effective political action by providing practical instruction, examples and templates to guide advocacy efforts. The intent of the toolkit is to build capacity in every nurse (and others-see below) to feel confident speaking out on issues that matter to them.
	Nurse Executive Leader Toolkit An evolving resource that focuses on enabling and enhancing the visionary, governance, leadership and service delivery related knowledge and skills required by nurse executive leaders today and into the future.
	Long-Term Care Toolkit The LTC Toolkit is designed to offer point-of-care staff, nurses, educators and leaders access to the best available evidence-based resources and tools. It supports the use of best practice guidelines (BPG), program development, implementation and evaluation to enhance the quality of resident care and create a healthy work environment (HWE). It is intended to promote the integration of BPGs with relevant provincial legislation, performance improvement and other health-care initiatives.
