Nurse Practitioner Posters and Print Ads UnveiledAs a part of the College’s communication plan to promote the integration of RN(EP)s or Nurse Practitioners into our health system a new poster and corresponding print ad was developed in partnership with Manitoba Health, the College of Physicians & Surgeons and the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association. The posters are being distributed throughout the province and are available free of charge through the College on request. The print ads were published in mid-December as 1/4 page ads in the Winnipeg weekly papers, the Brandon Sun, Steinbach Carillon, Dauphin Herald as well as the major northern weeklies. A second insert of the ads will take place in spring.The posters are available in both English and French. You can assist in ensuring these posters reach the right audience in your area by requesting some and posting them in appropriate areas. Feel free to photocopy the full page colour poster on page 7 of the January 2009 Manitoba RN Journal or print a copy from the College's website and use it with our permission.
