Making Your Nursing Self-Assessment Meaningful: A Guided Workshop for RNs

We have a limited number of 2 for 1 tickets so enrol soon before they run out!

About the Workshop

Each year, Registered Nurses complete a Self-Assessment as part of their College of Nurses registration renewal — an important opportunity to reflect on practice, identify strengths, and set goals for professional growth.

But turning those reflections into clear, achievable goals can be challenging. It’s not always easy to capture what you’ve learned, where you want to grow, or how to plan meaningful learning activities that fit your role and your life.

This 4-hour interactive online workshop is designed to make the process practical, focused, and personally rewarding. Guided by skilled facilitators, you’ll work through your self- assessment step-by-step — identifying priorities, articulating your goals, and developing a realistic action plan you can use throughout the year.

What You’ll Gain:

• A completed, thoughtful Self-Assessment aligned with your College’s Quality Assurance or Continuing Competence Program.
• A deeper understanding of your professional growth areas and strengths.
• Personalized learning goals that are meaningful, realistic, and motivating.
• A practical Professional Growth Plan with clear next steps and resources.
• A certificate of participation that can be included in your professional portfolio or used as evidence of Continuing Nursing Education (CNE).

Who Should Attend

Registered Nurses in all practice settings who:

• Want guidance and structure as they complete their annual self-assessment.
• Are looking for ideas and tools to set clear, achievable learning goals.
• Value a supportive environment for reflection and professional planning.

What to Bring

• Your College of Nurses self-assessment form (or access to it online).
• A notebook or device for reflection.
• Curiosity, openness, and a commitment to your ongoing professional growth.

Join Us!

Invest four hours in yourself — and come away with a completed self-assessment, renewed clarity about your goals, and a plan for meaningful, achievable professional growth in the year ahead.
