Message from the

Minister of Health

4 2 011 A N N U A L R E P O R T

I am very grateful for your dedication and

commitment to providingpatient-centred nursing care to the residents of

Saskatchewan.

As Minister of Health, I would like to extend greetings to all members of the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association. Registered Nurses play a vital role in delivering quality health care services. I am very grateful for your

dedication and commitment to providing patient-centred nursing care to the residents of Saskatchewan.

Our government is committed to ensuring that we have sufficient nurses to meet patient care needs in our province. Over the past four years, we exceeded our promise to hire 800 new nurses. Today, there are more than 900 more nurses practising in Saskatchewan.

I thank the SRNA for your role in our collective success at increasing the number of nurses in Saskatchewan. The SRNA, as our partner, worked to enhance the assessing and credentialing process to ensure that prospective nurses were ready for registration in a timely manner. We could not have achieved this goal without your support.

I look forward to continuing the relationship that the government enjoys with the SRNA. We will continue to work closely with you and our other nursing partners as we follow through on our commitment to make Saskatchewan the most attractive place for nurses to call home.

My best wishes in 2012.

Don McMorrisMinister of Health

ICN President’s Message

2 011 A N N U A L R E P O R T 5

I am continually amazed

by the dedication and

innovation shown by

nurses in their daily work.

As President of the International Council of Nurses (ICN), it is my pleasure to bring you greetings on behalf of the ICN Board of Directors, staff and our 135 member national nursing associations.

I would like to thank the members of the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association for your day to day efforts to provide quality nursing care and improve health in your province. I am continually amazed by the dedication and innovation shown by nurses in their daily work. Today nurses face many challenges: financial constraints, staff shortages, inadequate salaries and working conditions and yet you continue to show compassion, empathy and understanding to every patient you care for. You continue to provide the best quality of care possible. That may be your duty, it may be your job, but it is also a sign of the commitment and passion that nurses in Saskatchewan have for their profession.

ICN’s mission is to lead our societies toward better health. By working together with nurses around the world, we can harness the knowledge and enthusiasm of the entire nursing profession to promote healthy lifestyles, healthy workplaces and healthy communities.

ICN recognises the work and commitment of the nurses of Canada to uphold the values, policies, standards and conditions that free nurses to practice to the full extent of their education and ability and within safe and caring environments. ICN applauds you for your commitment to caring, to accountability and professionalism. We salute your efforts to provide individual and family-centred, ethical, compassionate care for the public, to meet the present and emerging health needs and to support the principles of primary health care.

You deserve to be proud of your accomplishments and I am certain that you will face any future challenges with the continued determination, dedication and passion.

CNA President’s Message

You have lived up to your vision of

“registered nurses as partners in an informed

healthy society.”

On behalf of the staff and board of directors of the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), I wish to commend SRNA and its members on your tremendous work in 2011! You have lived up to your vision of “registered nurses as partners in an

informed healthy society.”

SRNA’s efforts to optimize the role of RNs and its educational workplace presentations to nurse members on its continuing competence program and on CNA’s Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses, to name just two examples, have all been inspirational. Saskatchewan’s RNs, meanwhile, have done tremendous advocacy work on homelessness and harm reduction, both prime examples of how the code of ethics can be put into action.

These efforts have brought a rich perspective and strong leadership to CNA’s board table. I am energized by our shared commitment to promoting nursing and advancing a strong, vibrant, publicly funded health system. I look forward to our continued partnership.

SRNA President’s Message

It is a privilege to serve as President of the professional self-regulatory body for RNs and RN(NP)s in Saskatchewan. I appreciate the dedication of SRNA Council members and acknowledge the role of the SRNA staff in fulfilling the mandate in

setting standards of education and practice for the profession and registering nurses to ensure competent, caring knowledge-based registered nursing for the people of Saskatchewan. Your SRNA Council is committed to excellence in regulating continuing competence, professional conduct, standards of practice, and approving of nursing education programs.

Our commitment to speaking out on health care issues in the public interest will continue to be significant as we work in partnership with other health care teams to ensure there is individual and family-centred care for the residents of Saskatchewan.

It has been a great honour to serve as your representative on the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Board of Directors for the past year. Although there have been some challenges, I have learned from the dialogue with our Canadian counterparts. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) conference in Malta was an extraordinary experience that has given me a new global perspective on registered nursing. When I started my nursing career 35 years ago, I certainly did not expect to have these opportunities.  I feel blessed to serve as the SRNA President and I am proud to represent you, the Saskatchewan RNs and RN(NP)s.

Many RNs and RN (NP) s volunteer time and energy to serve on committees to help build and grow our profession. Thank you for your input and feedback in setting the course for registered nursing in Saskatchewan.

We can be proud of our successes and together we can face future challenges with optimism and hope.

Kandice Hennenfent, RNPresident, SRNA

I feel blessed to serve as the SRNA President

This past year has been full of significant accomplishments and opportunities for growth. Staff worked with members, public, government and our stakeholders to continue our journey in fulfilling the mission and vision set by SRNA

Council: “Partners in an informed, healthy society” through “competent, caring, knowledge –based registered nursing for the people of Saskatchewan.”

This Annual Report highlights SRNA activities during 2011 that supported our regulatory mandate and advanced the contributions that RNs and RN(NP)s made to our health system and most importantly to the health of the people of Saskatchewan. The SRNA has worked diligently with members and stakeholders to advance and transform our regulatory work, in the public interest. As a profession-led regulatory body, the SRNA is committed to public safety and this can only be accomplished with the involvement, dedication and passion of RNs and RN(NP)s which is evident in this report.

SRNA has established many partnerships and initiatives that will support our efforts to maintain excellence in profession-led regulation, promote excellence in nursing practice, influence health policy, promote effective relationships and manage resources with foresight.

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the SRNA Council for sharing their time, talents and energy to govern the Association with wisdom and courage. Thank you to the SRNA staff for their professionalism and dedication each and every day.

Thank you to all the Saskatchewan RNs and RN(NP)s whether in education, policy, administration, research or practice, for your commitment, leadership and enthusiasm for the nursing profession, your willingness to improve the health system and your dedication to the people of Saskatchewan.

The 2011 Annual Report is an opportunity to review our journey to date, celebrate our success, and grow from our challenges. Let us continue our journey working in collaborations and partnerships to make the Saskatchewan health system the best in Canada.

To the Members of Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association

The accompanying summary financial statements, which comprise the summary statement of financial position as at December 31, 2011 and the summary statement of operations for the year then ended, and related notes, are derived from the audited financial statements of Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association for the year ended December 31, 2011. We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those financial statements in our report dated March 20, 2012. Those financial statements, and the summary financial statements, do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the date of our report on those financial statements.

The summary financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by the Association under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of the audited financial statements of Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association. Reading the summary financial statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited financial statements of the Association.

Management’s Responsibility for the Summary Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of a summary of the audited financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordancewithCanadianAuditingStandard(CAS)810,“EngagementstoReportonSummaryFinancialStatements.”

OpinionIn our opinion, the summary financial statements derived from the audited financial statements of Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association for the year ended December 31, 2011 are a fair summary of those financial statements, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
