College and Association of Nurses of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (CNNN)

Published purpose

This project will examine the experiences of Indigenous nursing graduates in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to better understand barriers and supports related to completing licensing exams required for professional nursing practice. Guided by an Indigenous Nurse Research Advisory Council and informed by interviews with Indigenous nursing graduates, the project will develop recommendations to strengthen nursing education, exam preparation, and student success in the North. By supporting Indigenous representation and leadership in healthcare, the project aims to enhance the northern health workforce, improve culturally safe care, and build long-term local capacity in the health sector.
