No. Learning activities are ongoing throughout the year and do not need to be completed before the submission deadline. Your outlined activities need to be relevant and specific to your learning goals.

Learning Plan: Learning goals are not specific to your own learning needs or you forgot to include a principle from the Code of Conduct that aligns with your learning goal.

Code of Conduct Practice Activity: The examples you provided are general or hypothetical — they do not provide an example from your own practice that shows how you personally demonstrated the selected Code of Conduct principles.

NP Case Example Activity: Under Section 2, Health Assessment, you did not provide a clear rationale for why you ask clients specific assessment questions. Please see page 8 of your Quality Assurance Assessment Guide and page 4 of the NP Case Example Completion Guide for the evaluation criteria.

The principles of the Code of Conduct apply to nurses in all practice settings and roles, including those that do not provide direct patient care. You can choose principles for your examples that relate specifically to your role.

If you maintain your registration in the General or Extended Class, you are required to participate in QA Assessment. Only nurses in the Non-Practising Class are exempt from QA Assessment.

After the submission deadline, the Peer Coach will review your activities. You will be notified when a copy of the completed Peer Coach report is available for you to review in your SharePoint folder. The results and recommendations from the report are submitted to the QA Committee, which meets monthly to review recommendations and determine whether you can exit the program or additional information is required. You will receive a decision letter from QA Committee in your SharePoint folder within 14 days of the QA Committee meeting.

The QA Team would be happy to provide technical support. Please contact us at QAassessment@cnomail.org or 416 963-3922 or 1 800 387-5526 extension 3922).
