7.4 Audit Report 2013-2014 Has been this format for the last two years. Association has changed its year-end from March 31st to September 30th. This

audit is for 18th months period compared to 12 month of the year before. A lot of the variations are because we are comparing the 18th to 12th month year

and year-end is in a different month of the year. Management is responsible for preparing audit. Perform tasks we find necessary to ensure the financial statements are free of

error. Have gone through steps and procedures and can give the option that the financials statements present clearly.

Cash 282k – increase of 80k for year. Accounts receivable are lower – 1800 this year – because last year in the 30k

there was a large amount that was reviewable for HST. At the end of September the association owed the government 3000 because of timing of the year end and because the year before the government had not given its HST refund because there was a audit underway.

Page 3 statement of income- 18 compared to 12 month the column will be 1.5 times compared to previous year.

National conference – 211k – because of the location of the 2014 conference had much more attendees from the year before, therefore increase in fees. Much more sponsorship received in the year 2014 than the year before.

Membership fee increased from 160 to 300 – much more than 1.5 increase- increase sub. Because of the increase in members

Last year more emphasis on collecting sponsors than advertisements. Total rev – 644k in 2014 compared to 359 – substantial increase. Expenses NC went from 167 to 238 – in line with increase of revenues In line with revenue BOD meetings – 1.5 increase – explained by 12month vs 18 months Most other expenses are increase of 1.5 Regional executive – 2014 – 7500 – 856 year before – more claims for awards

Second paragraph – NFP – permitted to keep profit because it is incorporated under the special section of the income act

2 – which accounting policy was chosen by the association Membership fee recognized – deferred payment- recognized as it is earned –

conference recognized when it is held. 2b – financial instruments – cash. Other financials instruments are under 2c – set up at cost. No decontributed services – ass. Could not service without

volunteers but not recognized as expense or revenue 3 – financial instruments and risk – this note gives the user info about whether

assets or liability is at great risk because of policy of the board. If the association have 100k and decided wanted to invest all the 100k on market this note would highlight that as it would put the association at risk. Have gone through all the assets and liability and study the risk and none of the assets or liability is at risk of being lost. All management is conservative. Cash in bank account earning interest where possible. Ensure cash is available to pay liabilities. Highlights risk and how they are taken care of by board.

4 – capital assets – only trans. Depreciation 5 – if association had entered into long term commitments – contract with

CASN for administrative office 6- change in year end. Form march to September. Repayment of comparative

10.1 Resolutions10.1.1 Resolution entitled, Creating a Partnership for Aboriginal Health Promotion presented, with changes as discussed. Jessie: defer to Julia Julia AD: One of the inspirations was at the CNA AGM. There was a movement

towards addressing aboriginal issues. This RS was written because we feel creating this partnership would be in line with CNSA’s strategic plan. The cultural climate to support aboriginal people is a big part of nursing. We should take a leadership role by adopting this resolution statement.

Jonathon, OD, Dal Yartmouth: page 2 resolution statement one. A.N.A.C. be changed to the full name since the statement will be posted in a

separate document. Amber Scarland OD, UofT. – page 3. Cultural competence use to cultural safety

– cultural awareness, come, aware – safety recognized biases. Cultural safety is what we’re addressing. Modification would recognize colonial history and self-reflection.

Rajet: A.N.A.C. will be corrected. The changes to the rest of the document are not necessary, as the changes will not be published. Only resolutions are published

10.2 Position Statements10.2.1 Position Statement entitled, Cultural Competence in the Context of Aboriginal Health in Nursing Education as presented, with changes as discussed.Abstentions: York University Julia: entry level components by CASN and college have recommended that

cultural competence needs and specific address knowledge of aboriginal disparities. Many students don’t know the trauma and disparities of aboriginals. So that all the students have the opportunity to learn

Julie, OD, Moncton: Title in French is not the same as English Rajet: French motion will verify the literature and then verify the motion Vitoria, Mcgill OD – may be clarification regarding the use of the term “ways of

knowing” under position, as this is vocabulary that may not be used in all schools.

Dawn – ways of knowing pertains the different ways of knowing. Ingenious ways of knowing is a valid and important nursing concept and is valid in relational practice. Recognize they exist and incorporated as a valid source of knowledge for nursing research

Jessie TRU – accept change from cultural competence to cultural safety

Motion 16: the NA change title – GET FROM RAJ IN NA SLIDES

Faye – it would change the context of the position safety. Competence is what nurses would do that would result in cultural safety that would be recognized. PS is about Incorporating education

Amber UofT – clarify that cultural safety is going to be a competence and is a revolution tool. Studies show cultural competence emphasizes the wrong things. The problem is nurses are trying to understand the culture and not asking to be understood in regard to biases. Safety recognizes and learning putting competence in the curriculum. They are linked.

Lindsay McEwan, OD – most references are regarding competence not safety. Sarah, TRU – wanted to clarify most of competence is talking about nursing

competence not cultural competence. Majority of the reference are talking about entry level competencies. We can change the meaning with the word safety instead.

10.2.2 Position Statement entitled, Accommodation within Clinical Placements for Students with Temporary, Transient, or Sporadic Disability or Injury as presented, with changes as discussed. Matthieu: the PS rose out of a story of one of my classmates. Classmate put into

a cast after an injury and informed that we would not be able to participate in clinical placement. Removed from the course and delayed graduation. Upon bringing it forward, found that it is a common occurrence.

Hilary, AD, UofT – proposed that the last sentence of second page that equal be changed to equitable.

Motion 18 Mitchel Vong, OD, Langara College - wondering if there might be specific

accommodations as the PS is not specific Matthieu: in addressing the point specific accommodation I did not include that,

as it is more important that each OD would negotiate the accommodation process within their faculty as each person and will be different. This is more about the conversion to begin and that every student has equitable access to placement and the opportunity to continue.

10.2.3 Position Statement entitled, The Transitional NCLEX-RN® Examination for Canadian Candidates as presented, with changes as discussed. Lauren , Sault College, (writer) on the phone: written with the help of others for

CNSA to take a position on the change from CRNE to NCLEX. See come concerns within the PS. CNSA being as involved as we can to be as advocates for students across Canada and help with transitioning students. Here for questions or comments.

OD, Univerty College of the north: focus on prep and access to prep. Does not state about ensuring students have access to write the NCLEX. Should CNSA address that issue as well.

Sara, OD, TRU – NCLEX is more accessible because you don’t have to wait for the 3 tests like previous year. Go to permanent and temporary sites. Is actually more accessible.

OD, University college of the north : given that the CRNE required certain number of students to write. The temp testing center rural nurses move a great deal and may not be able to make it to a permanent testing center within a reasonable time after graduation. Students have waiting over 9 months to write the NCLEX.

Julia, AD, North Island College – from north Vancouver island. Have temporary test sites. Doesn’t really change as testing site are in the same locations as CRNE sites were according to my understanding.

10.2.4 Position Statement entitled, Nursing Leadership Development as presented, with changes as discussed. Carly Whitmore, Past President (on phone): spirit of NA. Born of 5 years of

being involved and love of association. Story telling is best form of knowledge translation. Education importance of leadership. Finished orientation as registered nurse. Was told would be charge nurse early one. Delegation of tasks and if any events happened it would be her responsibility. Significant event. At some point soon after, put into leadership position. Hoping that this position statement starts a conversation so that you don’t have to be put into such harsh position right away. To be prepared for what will happen once graduation. Soon we will be the ones put out there and tackling those problems.

Section 9.01.4 – change that national stakeholder is only CASNThe new bylaw would read “The Board may appoint a National Stakeholder. If appointed, the National Stakeholder shall perform such duties as outlined in the Board rules and regulations and as may, from time to time, be imposed on him/her by the Board. The National Stakeholder need not be a Director. The National Stakeholder shall be the, Executive Director, President or President-elect of the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing.”

To ensure a consistent advisory and for continuity. Since the BOD changes every year and the AO and past president, the stakeholder would be a consistent advisor and continuity. This would be lost with a rotation.

which can occur as late as November. Better chance of success as witnessed in the two past regional

Jessy Dame, OD, TRU – move to amend the governance changes to strike part 5

MOTION 24: The Diversity Committee Chair Shall: “Act as the liaison between the Aboriginal Nurses Association of Canada (ANAC) and CNSA” to support the resolution statement presented at the 2015 National Assembly.

Moved by: Jessy Dame, OD, TRU Seconded by: Shawn, OD, UofA Jessy Dame: acknowledge Dr Lisa Bursen is here and welcome

her. Cultural safety is defined by the client and allows us to engage in discussion. Restore through equity through equality and the right to self governance. This change comes from power over. By not telling us how we should be governed and collaborate with us and find a fit that works for us all. If accepted it would not reflect positively on the association.

Julia, NIS, AD: co author of passed statements. the rationales was this change does not reflect. Stop assimilation of aboriginal people. Stop the cycle and pass this motion to approve change. Not in the best interest of aboriginal nursing


www.cnsa.ca


students Ryan DCC – I believe the aboriginal nursing student deserve

their own voice and the right for self governance. Should listen to the nursing students.

Matthieu – I believe the addition would be an injustice to that committee is a heritage issue

Virotai, Mcgill uniersiy – agree with the spoken words – ensure that the strike of the motion and safeguards to ensure there is representation of aboriginal students on the board or someone to liaise with them

Julia NIC AD – the reason for the strike and not amendment, did know how to reflect the change. The diversity chair can be elected by anybody. By not allowing this change we are allowing the framework to further development this issue and she how they want to be governed. Not looking for answers right now. Can ensure that right now that the diversity officer is not the liaison for aboriginal nursing students.

Sara OD, TRU – even if there isn’t an amendment because we passed, the board is bound to find a representative and find a way to work with A.N.A.C., just asking that it is not the diversity chair.

9.3 Proposed changes to the code of professional conduct.Motion 25 Code of professional conduct offering suspension of “eligibility

to run …” consequence the number would be 5.1.1 To ensure BOD uphold the policy of the association when

breaching CNSA policies Victoria, Mcgill, OD – like to address a possible concern with

this policy change. At this time under dis. Corrective action will include any or all which I find restricts the ability of the BOD to discipline members of the CNSA requires they take one of these courses of action that it will now read. May or may not include which would allow board greater freedom for disciplinary action.

Alex, NIC, OD – I move to amend to remove part 5.1.1.4 Kaleigh: Out of order as it changes the intent of what it is now.

Propose to make an amendment to 5,1,1,2 – if the BOD judges necessary

Rajet: already mentioned CNSA would The stem says “any or all of the following depending on” These corrective actions are at the discretion of the board.

Kaleigh: would be repetitive as it is already there.

OD MCGLL to change the wording “ corrective actions That is out of order as it is not what we are discussing would

have to be a change for next year.

9.4 Policy for Voting Selection Process for the elected CNSA Motion 26 representative to the Canadian Nurses Association Board and

Voting Delegate Selection Process for Canadian Nurses Association Membership Meetings

Continued to the NFP act. Transition required CNA to make changes in order to comply with the new act. Certain rules were changed to the rules of rights for CNSA to be a member for CNA. CNSA became sole class B member to exercise 5 votes. CNSA could select up to 5 voting delegates who can exercise these vote on behalf of CNSA in the CNA members. CNSA is entitiled to elect one director to the CNSA board. Similar to our regions. Within regions the chapter schools selects and elects the regional director for that region. That regions schools determine RD. 5 voting delegates determine their director or class 5 director.

Kendra OD, U of victoria – because the votes are new if the chair could clarify out often and the budget CNSA would have to put aside.

Rajet: only one members AGM.

Jessie Danes, OD, TRU – clarify how much of the budget will be allocated to that. Or would it be the same amount.

Rajet: 5 delegates that will be sent will have to follow the CNSA travel and accommodations policy and can attend the meeting electronically. Those voting delegates would be applying for external travel proposals as per travel and accommodations policy.

Grant, ad, mac – would the whole floor be charged? Does hotel have evidence for this charge?

Andrea – not definitely going to happen. Similar to getting charged for doing illegal drugs in room. Was informed by hotel staff during check in about rules, such as non-smoking hotel. It is an optional of hotel to charge the fee or get evicted. Hotel has zero tolerance so you might be charged the $50 fee. Could affect the credit of the organization because we would have a bad reference.

Laurie pal – SCBN, Saskatoon – more about profession than monetary value. Address professionalism at closing ceremony.

Bryce – uofs, regina- ask Raj to write up all the concerns and give it to the hotel to prevent having to run up at once.

Matthieu, OD, Mcmaster – hope this doesn’t happen. Association should take on the charge and not the students even if it affects credit rating.

Jessy, OD, Thompson River – where is the policy and agreement that allows for the charge

Andrea – ppl doing the actual damage would get charged, but if hotel does not know then all delegates might be charged. This is up to the hotel’s discretion.

Laurie pal – Saskatoon – if CNSA can come up with a solution to do deal with this in the future

Bryce – uofs, regina – passed a code of professional conduct positions tatement. Wonder if this will hold all these individuals to these acts.

Raj – absolutely.
