List of Mentors:
Mentors in the CNA certification mentor program act as advisors to nurses seeking support or assistance in achieving certification or renewing their certification.
If you are CNA certified nurses in medical surgical nursing and have a minimum of 3 years of experience in your nursing specialty, you may be interested in exploring this professional experience. Being a CNA mentor provides you with credits toward your certification renewal and an opportunity for professional networking with other mentors in your specialty. If interested, please complete the electronic submission form: http://www.cna-aiic.ca/CNA/nursing/certification/expertise/default_e.aspx
List of Study groups :

If you are conducting a Study Group can you let CNA know; we would like to take this opportunity to post your Study Group information on our CNA Certification website in the "Study Group" section as well as the "Events" section. This would provide an opportunity for other Nurses in your area to participate as well as provide an opportunity for Networking. You can register your study group directly from our website to: http://www.cna-aiic.ca/CNA/nursing/certification/apply/studygroups/default_e.aspx
As soon we get your registration info about your study group; we will send you the link for the Medical Surgical Nursing Online 2012 Exam Prep Guide. A great deal of information is also available on the website designed to assist you as you prepare for your Study Group. In addition, you will find "Facilitator Comments" and "Participant Comments” forms designed to allow both parties the opportunity to work with the Canadian Nurses Association by providing feedback.
We would be happy to post your events, please contact us
