- significantly increase the knowledge and confidence of nurses practicing in expanded roles;
- establish and strengthen the network of contacts;
- support recruitment and retention by enabling nurses to access continuing education in their own communities;
- improve the health outcomes of their clients;
- fulfill reflective practice or quality assurance requirements defined by provincial nursing regulating bodies.
