HSPnet
Health Sciences Placement Network – Saskatchewan (HSPNet-SK) is a tool utilized by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and some post-secondary institutions. It is a comprehensive, web-enabled practice education management system for the health sciences programs. It assists with the administration of discipline-specific and interprofessional student placements.
The following Quick Reference Guides were developed to support the clinical placement process for nursing students in Saskatchewan. The Guides apply to all nursing programs that use HSPnet to manage student placements and to all Saskatchewan Health Authority clinical sites.
