Event Description

The Regional Paediatric Orientation Program© (RPO) was created to promote the consistent delivery of safe, quality paediatric care across our region. 

Core paediatric nursing competencies facilitate learners to develop the theoretical knowledge required to support nursing care for paediatric patients.

 

There are 6 self-directed learning packages which are based on current best-practice guidelines and nursing standards of practice. The MNCYN Paediatric Respiratory Therapy Simulation Video Series has also been added to the course content.

 

The RPO© Program is available online for learners to work through at their own pace. Participants have 45-days to complete the course. Once completed, learners will no longer be able to view or access the program. Please note, content cannot be printed due to Copyright.
