An authorized prescriber notation provides registered nurses
- 00:08 - 00:10
and registered psychiatric nurses with the authority
- 00:10 - 00:13
to initiate prescriptions and order diagnostics and
- 00:13 - 00:15
screen tests for three specific populations.
- 00:16 - 00:18
These populations are travel health are and only
- 00:19 - 00:21
diabetes, health and reproductive,
- 00:21 - 00:24
sexually transmitted infections and blood borne pathogens.
- 00:25 - 00:27
Each population has a specific theory course.
- 00:27 - 00:30
Education requirements include three courses
- 00:30 - 00:31
prescribing course
- 00:31 - 00:33
theory, course specific to the population
- 00:33 - 00:34
and a clinical course.
- 00:35 - 00:37
If you're a registered nurse or registered psychiatric nurse
- 00:37 - 00:39
who was interested in becoming an authorized prescriber,
- 00:39 - 00:42
here's some pathways to achieve an authorized prescriber notation.
- 00:43 - 00:46
The first step is to determine which scenario applies to you.
- 00:49 - 00:51
So for the first scenario,
- 00:51 - 00:55
RNS or RPMs have completed education other than the essentials of
- 00:55 - 01:00
RN prescribing practice at Red River College polytech or Athabasca University,
- 01:00 - 01:00
M. B. RN.
- 01:00 - 01:04
Or rpm prescribing a theory course specific to travel health,
- 01:04 - 01:06
diabetes or reproductive STB I.
- 01:06 - 01:09
At Red River College polytech and a consolidated clinical
- 01:09 - 01:12
practice to come at Red River College politics.
- 01:14 - 01:17
Next scenario is if an RN and R. P. N. Have
- 01:17 - 01:21
include all their learning about travel health, diabetes or reproductive STB B. I.
- 01:21 - 01:23
And are initiating prescriptions on the job.
- 01:26 - 01:29
And then the next scenario RN or RPMs with prescribing
- 01:29 - 01:32
experience from other jurisdictions in Canada moved to Manitoba.
- 01:39 - 01:41
If any of these scenarios applied to you,
- 01:41 - 01:42
your first step is to complete an
- 01:42 - 01:45
authorized prescriber notation application with your college.
- 01:46 - 01:48
The college will review your application and make
- 01:48 - 01:50
a referral for a clinical confidence assessment,
- 01:50 - 01:52
nurses from any of these scenarios must complete a
- 01:52 - 01:55
clinical competence assessment or otherwise known as a C.
- 01:55 - 01:55
C. A
- 01:56 - 01:59
Assisi is an examination that assesses nursing knowledge
- 01:59 - 02:01
and practice using competencies for authorized prescribers.
- 02:01 - 02:03
As the framework for evaluation.
- 02:03 - 02:06
Sisi has completed over two days at the University of Manitoba
- 02:07 - 02:08
based on the outcome of the C. C. A.
- 02:08 - 02:11
The college will inform you of the necessary next steps.
- 02:11 - 02:13
There are two possible outcomes
- 02:14 - 02:17
for so come as no gaps are identified in C. C. A.
- 02:17 - 02:19
Nurses would then be eligible for approval of an
- 02:19 - 02:22
ap notation with their college for the applicable population.
- 02:23 - 02:25
Or gaps are identified in C. C. A.
- 02:25 - 02:28
And must be addressed through successful completion of remedial education.
- 02:28 - 02:33
Education is available to the existing RN prescriber programs at Red
- 02:33 - 02:35
River College polytech or the approved
- 02:35 - 02:37
prescribing course at Athabasca University.
- 02:37 - 02:40
When remedial education is successfully completed,
- 02:40 - 02:42
nurses will be eligible for the approval of an
- 02:42 - 02:45
ap notation with their college for the applicable population,
- 02:46 - 02:47
yep.
- 02:53 - 02:55
And for the next scenario RNS and RPMs have
- 02:55 - 02:58
extensive experience and content knowledge regarding the population,
- 02:59 - 03:02
travel, health, diabetes or reproductive STD B. I.
- 03:02 - 03:04
But have not completed the prescribing course.
- 03:04 - 03:06
They have obtained and maintained one of the following
- 03:06 - 03:09
certifications as an alternative to the theory course.
- 03:10 - 03:12
Either the International Association of forensic nurses,
- 03:12 - 03:15
sexual assault nurse examiner otherwise known as S.
- 03:15 - 03:17
A. And E certification.
- 03:17 - 03:21
The International Society of Travel Medicine certification and Travel Health,
- 03:21 - 03:22
also known as I.
- 03:22 - 03:23
S. T. M.
- 03:23 - 03:24
And then the Canadian diabetes
- 03:24 - 03:28
educator certification certified diabetes educator.
- 03:28 - 03:29
Which is a Cd
- 03:32 - 03:34
nurses must complete the prescribing course
- 03:35 - 03:35
either Athabasca
- 03:36 - 03:39
University or the Red River College polytech and a clinical
- 03:39 - 03:42
course at Red River College polytech and maintain their certification.
- 03:43 - 03:46
It is recommended to take both courses through our R. C. P.
- 03:47 - 03:50
After both the prescribing clinical courses are successfully completed,
- 03:50 - 03:52
the nurses must apply and be approved for an
- 03:52 - 03:55
Ap notation with their college for the applicable population.
