The Canadian Association of Paediatric Nurses (CAPN) was re-vitalized in 2017 after a national effort to develop Canadian Paediatric Nursing Standards. CAPN is building a broad nursing network with the aim to protect and promote the health of children in Canada by 1) advancing the professional specialty of Paediatric Nursing; 2) education and learning for nurses, and 3) advocating locally and nationally for the well-being of children. CAPN aims to elevate the voice of nursing in matters of children’s health across Canada and believes the specialty of paediatric nursing is pivotal to securing better health outcomes for children and their families. Paediatric nurses not only provide quality care but are change leaders in improving children’s health systems and communities.
Thank you,
