The purpose of the education fund is to support continuing education by providing funding to enable participation in workshops, seminars and short courses including CNA certification and recertification programs (not study groups).

Reimbursements may be made for university, college and post-graduate courses/ programs related to the profession.

The Education Fund is not meant to replace employer funding for mandatory courses, required orientation or training needed to expand a nurses level of competency to work within the worksite/ service delivery.

Memberships to various associations are not eligible for reimbursement, unless at the time of the request, the membership results in a reduced course cost (greater than or equal to the cost of the membership fee).

If the employee is signing a return to service agreement when taking a course, this is not eligible for reimbursement through Education Fund.

All PEINU members are invited and are encouraged to attend the Fall Education Day on October 30th at Murchison Centre, Charlottetown.

Presenter is Gerard Murphy – “The #Unbreakable Nurse: Bouncing Forward, Not Back!”

Online Registration for the Fall Education Day is open until October 23, 2019.

Note: There will be a $20 Registration Fee required PRIOR to the October 30th event.
