NS Professional Development Days (2024)
Four days, four opportunities for VON Service Providers, CCA students and Nursing students to learn together, and for VON NSNU nurses to earn points towards practice premiums. These days will allow for professional development, clinical leadership, preceptor development, and inter-professional collaboration and practice.
VON is grateful for the generosity of the Health Association of Nova Scotia in supporting this event.
VON invites all VON service providers along with students and nursing students to participate so they can learn with, and from, and about each other. The event would not be possible without the contribution of space from both Nova Scotia Community Colleges and Cape Breton University.
Drop-in to any of these free events any time between 11am-5pm, even for an hour. (Registration opens at 10:30am)
