 Five Year Membership Fee

NOTICE TO THE MEMBERSHIP FIVE YEAR PLAN 

FOR FEE INCREASE BEGINNING 2011


An increase for 2011 of $100.00 and an increase of $50.00 for each of the next 4 years

Rebate: Those not reimbursed by their employers and who meet the criteria may apply for a rebate of 10% of each year’s annual registration fees


THIS IS WHY
Advocacy
RNANTNU has two areas of responsibility.  We have a legislated mandate to protect the public.  This is our privilege as self-regulating profession.
As an association we also have a responsibility to represent, support, and advocate for nurses.  At the May 2010 General Meeting in Iqualuit, the membership expressed the need for nurses and nursing to be more visible in the northern health care system.  This is one aspect of the fee increase.

Reduce the Deficit
Over the last three years we have been operating with a deficit budget.  The RNANTNU finances were affected by the economic downturn and we have not bounced back.  We cannot continue to operate under a deficit budget as our cushion of reserve funds has dropped significantly.  If we continue we will be in debt.  The board decided that we must have a balanced budget and the only solution to that is more income.

Office Space Needed
The present premises are unsatisfactory.  The need for more space for RNANTNU is not a new issue.  It has been a continuing concern of the staff and the board for more than three years.  This must be addressed within the next year.  More space will cost more money, as will moving.  We are only renewing the present lease for a one year term and will search for new premises.

Information Technology
Within the next two years we will need to upgrade the RNANTNU server and must begin upgrading outdated computers on a regular rotating basis.

Salaries & Staff Benefits
There is a need for staff salaries and benefits to remain competitive.

Professional Conduct Review
This is an ongoing cost related to our mandate for protection of the public and is not an option.  There is an overall trend of increasing number of cases that need to be investigated.  The Director of PCR is now a half time position.

 NP PRACTICE AND PRESCRIPTIVE GUIDELINES FOR NURSE PRACTITIONERS

 

The RNANT/NU Board of Directors and Nurse Practitioner Committee have been working for sometime to update the NP Practice Guidelines and Prescriptive Authority and we have finally succeeded!
 
Attached is a new combined NP Practice and Prescriptive Guidelines for Nurse Practitioners that has just been approved by the NWT Minister of Health and Social Services, Minister Miltenberger for use within the NWT.
The RNANT/NU will be quickly proceeding with discussions with the Government of Nunavut to have the same guidelines approved there.
You are the first set of practitioners that are receiving this document so please allow sometime for this to filter through the system.  We will be discussing these Guidelines at this weeks Nursing Leadership Forum to inform employers and we will also notifying both the NWTMA and NWTPhA so they can pass this along to their members. There will also be a few other notifications that we will do as well.
 
A special thank you to all members of the Nurse Practitioner Committee for their hard work and persistence in making this come to fruition.

CLICK HERE FOR STRATEGIC PLAN  

The Board of Directors of the RNANT/NU embarked on strategic planning for the period 2010 to 2013. This followed consultation with our members at the General Meeting of the membership in May of 2010 in Iqaluit. This was consolidated and refined in September of 2010 at a Board face to face meeting in September 2010.
The following is the Strategic plan for the RNANT/NU and the time lines that items are to be achieved in.
Feel free to contact your Board Member, the President or the Executive Director if you have any questions, concerns or input you would like the Board to consider.
