New Brunswick Critical Care Nursing Program
As part of its commitment to the recruitment and retention of
adequate nursing resources for New Brunswick, the Department of Health
contributes to the preparation of nurses for the specialty of Critical
Care Nursing, in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick
(UNB).
This initiative is a standardized Critical Care Certificate program
based on standards from Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses
(CACCN), National Emergency Nurses Affiliation (NENA), and Canadian
Council of Cardiovascular Nurses (CCCN). The program includes both
theory and practice and is delivered by distance education. The program
offers learning within both a critical care and an emergency care
environment. Courses may be offered to as many as eight sites depending
on participants’ location and will be offered in both official
languages.
The program is available in French at Université de Moncton, for more information on the French program email: edperm@umoncton.ca.
