Case study
Dispensing naloxone in the emergency department
At the triage desk, Jayne listens to the soft-spoken man in front of her. He’s asking for a naloxone kit for himself. She recognizes Mick—he’s been treated several times in the emergency department for conditions related to opioid use. As she explains that he must register and see a physician before he can receive a kit, Mick’s frustration is evident. He quietly repeats, “I don’t need to see a doctor. I just need a naloxone kit.”

Registration
The clock is ticking: Renew today!
There is less than a month left to renew your registration. In order to maintain your current registration status, you must complete the online application and pay the full renewal fee by
23:59 hours on February 28, 2017. If you miss the deadline, you'll no longer be a registrant of the College. Are you currently a practising registrant? You won't be able to legally work as a nurse until you reinstate your registration.
