CACCN Position Statements
The CACCN develops position statements to provide summaries of the Association’s view on issues pertaining to critical care nurses and their nursing practice. Critical Care Nurses from across the country participate in the creation of all position statements. Position statements are reviewed a minimum of every five years to ensure applicability to practice.
CACCN encourages members to review position statements from their provincial regulatory nursing body, as well as the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA).
