Bylaws

The current bylaws were passed in Sept 2010 and accepted by the members at that time (bylaws)

Canadian Nurses' Association (CNA)

We are a member of the Associate, Affiliate and Emerging (AAE) interest groups of the Canadian Nurses' Association (CNA) as of July 2007. Part of these requirements include that at least half of our members are members of CNA, that we have representation of at least four provinces. We provide CNA with feedback on issues of interest to FNSC (e.g. violence, violence prevention) and they provide us access to other AAE groups and resources for communication. We will be exploring options for forensic nursing certification with CNA as part of our strategic planning.
