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.

Agency Nurses will be able to complete focused assessments, recognize deviations from normal, analyze assessment and diagnostic findings and develop differential diagnoses that can identify urgent and emergent problems in the sick child. They will understand and determine the need for the appropriate screening and diagnostic tests required treatment of common paediatric illnesses, e.g., blood sugar, Haemoglobin, urinalysis, hearing and vision acuity, ear and throat swab, blood tests.
Agency Nurses will learn to identify common, urgent, and emergent illnesses or conditions, and suitable treatment plans will be made, which best meet the patient’s and family's needs. They will understand how to discuss assessment findings with the patient/caregiver and make appropriate primary prevention, safety, environmental and lifestyle recommendations. Furthermore, Agency Nurses will better understand family structures, how to conduct a family assessment and assess potential for change to assist families in accessing resources to meet health needs of the child.
