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 discuss a variety of communicable diseases and infections that affect both the adult and paediatric populations, including tuberculosis. They will learn to perform comprehensive assessments using an organized approach to assess chief complaint, history of present illness, sexual history as required and perform a relevant physical exam to screen for communicable diseases or sexually transmitted infections.
Agency Nurses will understand and determine the need for the appropriate diagnostic tests (blood work, or urine/ swab for culture) required to test for communicable diseases and sexually transmitted infections, and learn how to discuss assessment and laboratory findings with the client, recognizing the need and performing contact tracing if necessary.
