CCP

 

Every year, more than 13,000 registered nurses in Manitoba embark on a mandated Continuing Competency Program, we call CCP. It is a comprehensive learning system that provides registered nurses and nurse practitioners with a framework to maintain standards, enhance practice, and promote high standards of knowledge to deliver safe, competent, and ethical care.  

The purpose of this page is to help you navigate your CCP journey.

Your journey into the Continuing Competency Program is about taking control to further your knowledge in continuing to deliver quality client care. It provides you with the opportunity to enhance your critical thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills. CCP also enables you to have the choice to decide what learning you want to take through this self-directed learning program. 

You can learn more about the requirements for this program here.

Your CCP Roadmap (currently being revised)

Note, this section will change throughout the course of the year (sometimes monthly) to provide you with ongoing education on your annual requirements for the CCP. Please refer back this page to see if you are on the right track.

 

CCP Review Information:

On July 7, CCP Review notifications will be distributed.
Selected nurses will be asked to complete a survey by July 21, indicating whether they are in a clinical or non-clinical role. They will also be required to provide a delivery address for the questionnaire packages, which will be sent out in early September.

The questionnaires will be handed out to colleagues and clients (if applicable) until the end of November. On December 1 the external vendor will begin correlating all the data

Achieving Your Annual Requirements: Attend an Information Session

We invite and encourage you to attend a CCP information session that will teach you the various parts of the CCP process. The Quality Practice team is offering one-hour virtual (Microsoft Teams) presentations, that will cover similar information but have different areas of focus. These presentations are organized this way to provide you with the choice to select the presentation type that is right for you! 

The information sessions you can choose from are listed below.  

To register for any of these information sessions, email ccp@crnm.mb.ca with Information Session in your subject line. In the email identify the title and date of the presentation you wish to attend. Once registered, a member of our Quality Practice team will be in contact, close to the session date, to confirm details on how to enter the information session.

Exemplary LPs

What makes a learning plan a great one?

Your self-directed learning is documented every year in a learning plan which is a key requirement that needs to be completed as part of the annual CCP requirements.

To see how the College scores your completed LP, please review the scoring rubric outlined in the CCP Workbook.

Read the following LPs to see how RNs exceed the criteria and create exemplary learning plans by:

  • Identifying a unique and innovative self-directed goal that relates to one’s current practice
  • Doing self-directed activities that relate to the learning plan
  • Identifying unique and innovative activities
  • Sharing an impact statement that demonstrates learning, and evidence that client care has been improved
  • Having a learning plan that flows and connects the goal, activity and impact on practice

Please reach out to ccp@crnm.mb.ca if you require assistance with your learning plans.

Here are the learning plans from 2024 that were identified as EXEMPLARY.

Examples of LPs
