In order to practice as a registered nurse in Manitoba and to use the designation registered nurse, a person must be registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (CRNM) on the register of practicing registered nurses or the register of graduate nurses. As an active practicing registered nurse in another Canadian jurisdiction you are eligible to apply for registration by endorsement after satisfactory completion of the following four requirements and submission of the appropriate fees:
- Application:
Complete the enclosed Application for Initial Registration form and return it with the application processing fee of $52.50 ($50.00 plus $2.50 GST) to CRNM. Your completed application should be sent once only by fax or by mail to prevent duplicate payments or charges to your credit card.
- Verification of Registration:
Complete the upper portion of the Request for Verification of Registration form and submit it to the appropriate regulatory body or bodies with which you have been registered.
If you currently hold active practicing registration in another Canadian province or territory, you are required to obtain verification from your current regulatory body. Please be advised that you may be requested to submit verification(s) of registration(s) from jurisdictions where you have previously been registered if the College requires this information to establish a complete registration history. You may make copies of this form if you need more than one.
If you are not currently registered in another Canadian province or territory submit a request for verification from all regulatory bodies with which you have been registered for the past seven years. The regulatory bodies will complete the form and return it directly to CRNM.
- Criminal Record Check:
The Registered Nurse Regulation requires that a current criminal record check be performed for all persons wishing to register. Originals must be submitted. Faxes and photocopies will not be accepted.
Following receipt of requirements 1 through 3, your application will be considered complete and assessment will begin.
