Delivered fully online, this certificate prepares nurses to provide kidney care across every stage of that journey, spanning early detection, dialysis, palliative care and transplant, building the knowledge needed to provide safe, competent and ethical care for those at risk of, or affected by, kidney disease. A person-centred, evidence-based approach underpins health promotion, disease prevention and management across the lifespan, with emphasis on clinical excellence in nephrology nursing, patient empowerment, strengths-based approaches and self-management strategies. Students also study how an inter-professional collaborative practice model supports comprehensive, individualized care, with curriculum built around the Canadian Nurses Association's nephrology nursing competencies and the practice standards set by CANNT, the national association representing Canada's nephrology nurses and technologists.
