Question
I was just wondering if there is somewhere I can order charts and stamps over the internet so I do not have to continually call my NFP instructor every few months.
Thanks!
C.N.
Answer
I am sure there are internet sources for charts and stamps, though it would depend on the method you are using. You may want to check out the links page at our website, www.canfp.org.
Though CANFP offers many educational materials over our website, we do not offer charting materials. The reason for this is we believe it is important to stay in contact with your teacher.
Your NFP teacher is an important resource to you. Once you have completed your course of instruction, you might consider your annual call or visit to your NFP teacher to replenish your supplies as a n opportunity to review your year of charting, address any changes, review your observational routine, and answer any questions. Think of it along the same lines as your annual visit to your physician for your PAP smear! It is an opportunity to benefit from the insights of your teacher, an allied health professional! If you are unable to make an in-person annual visit with your NFP teacher, perhaps distance is a factor, then even a phone call to request new materials gives the opportunity to check in about how things are going. And with today’s technology – fax, e-mail, phone calls – there are many creative ways to keep in touch.
I am sure I speak for all NFP teachers when I say I am always glad to hear from my NFP clients, and have the opportunity to catch up with them, personally and professionally!
So, C.N., you may find charts and stamps over the internet, but I’d encourage you to give your NFP teacher a call instead. She’ll be glad you did!
