Abstract

The purpose of this best practice guideline (BPG) is to strengthen collaborative practice among nurses, because effective collaborative practice is essential for working in health-care organizations.

In this guideline, there is a focus on collaborative practice amongst three types of nursing professionals:

  • registered nurse (RN),
  • registered practical nurse (RPN), and
  • nurse practitioner (NP)

The guideline explores what fosters healthy work environments for these groups of nurses (being aware that collaboration must align with the needs of the patient or client).
