As part of a project, funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the RNAO has developed several PDA versions of the Nursing Best Practice Guidelines.

These condensed versions of the guidelines are specifically designed for viewing on PDAs or mobile phones.

They are web based, so your device would require a web browser and a data plan or have WIFI access to view them.

Below are the links to access them. To view them, open the web browser on your device and enter one of the links below.

We recommend bookmarking them, so you can return quickly when desired.
