In the past I used CNO’s therapeutic communication document to guide my practice during my consolidation placement. I worked in an outpatient endoscopy clinic where patients were often anxious, scared and sometimes even angry. I had difficulty communicating with such clients as I did not know what was the right thing to say or how to deliver what I wanted to say. After reviewing the therapeutic communication document on CNO’s website and having a conversation with my preceptor I found that I was better able to communicate with clients.

[Nicole]

The nine entry to practice competencies outlined for Registered Nurses help new graduates better understand scope of practice. For example, the role of communicator outlines ways to foster and maintain professional and therapeutic relationships, and adequately share relevant information. In my final placement, I was able to utilize active listening to better understand client preferences. Specifically, one client was particular about receiving their medication at set times daily. By actively listening to the client’s request, I was able to build a therapeutic, trusting relationship with the client.

This information made it easy for me to explain the policy to the family without compromising the rights of the resident and the professional obligation.

During my nursing education, I used the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) resources to support my learning on evidence-based practice. I accessed the CNA’s guidelines on professional standards, which helped me understand the importance of ethical decision-making in patient care. These resources were invaluable in guiding my approach to integrating research into practice, for example I used them to enhance care plans I developed for assignments, ensuring that my interventions were both evidence-based and aligned with professional standards.

[Rose]

Hello,
The CNO provides valuable resources that guide our practice and ensure we meet professional standards. One time I relied on CNO resources was when I was caring for a patient with dementia who was becoming increasingly agitated during care. I wanted to ensure I was providing safe, ethical, and patient-centered care while maintaining professional boundaries. I referred to the CNO’s Professional Standards, Revised 2002, particularly the sections on accountability, ethics, and continuing competence. This helped me reflect on my approach, ensuring I was using evidence-based interventions while also respecting the patient’s dignity and autonomy. Additionally, I reviewed the Practice Standard: Therapeutic Nurse-Client Relationship, which reinforced the importance of building trust and using effective communication strategies.
By applying these standards, I was able to adjust my approach, using calm reassurance and validation techniques, which ultimately helped reduce the patient’s distress. This experience reminded me how essential CNO resources are in guiding our decisions and ensuring we provide safe, competent, and compassionate care.
Thanks for reading my post!
Rose
