Nunavut Orientation Overview
Welcome to CHCA's orientation to practice in Nunavut.
CHCA Nurses working in Nunavut will have already completed the Contract Nurse Training Program offered upon initial hire to our agency. This comprehensive orientation program prepares nurses for practice in remote nursing stations in Canada's north.
This Agency Nurse Orientation Training Program (ANOTP) provides nurses with additional Nunavut and Inuit-specific information, in order to practice safely and effectively, and provide the highest possible quality of care for the Inuit people.

This module gives Agency Nurses the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts and practice skills to understand the expectations of Agency Nurses when documenting client care. Clear, comprehensive and accurate documentation is an integral part of safe and effective nursing practice.
Topics include: the principles of SOAP documentation, the Agency Nurses accountability when documenting; and how to maintain security of confidential information. Agency Nurses will then discuss triage and telemedicine, and discuss components of a high-quality telephone triage system. They will summarize the essential aspects of good communication required for triage, and identify how language barrier, cultural norms, rules of thumb, cognitive biases and other distractors influence triage decision making.
