The groups are offered to all nurses who are applying to write certification exams. Even though a group may not be offered near your location, you may be able to access it through other means. Please contact the group organizer for further information.
CNA posts study group information as it is received.
The groups are listed first by province/territory then by specialty/area of nursing practice.
