Nurs Leadersh (Tor Ont). 2021 Dec;34(4):73-78. doi: 10.12927/cjnl.2021.26687.

Abstract

The complexity of nursing in Canada is evident in the diverse designations and jurisdictional approaches to legislation and regulation of the profession. The ever-evolving scope of practice of each designation of nursing shows the ability of nursing and nurses to adapt to the external environment and evolve to meet the needs of clients, the profession and the healthcare system. This commentary highlights the "made-in-Canada" research regarding intraprofessional collaboration. It also presents recommendations to strengthen intraprofessional collaboration over the next decade.
