Your help is appreciated in assisting with this important task. Thank you!Late Fee and Unauthorized Practice PenaltyA $50.00 late penalty (plus GST) is now in effect on all registration renewal applications. This penalty is in addition to the registration renewal fee payable by the member. A certificate of practice will not be issued until all fees are paid.Please note that an unauthorized practice penalty will be imposed on registration applications where a member has failed to renew by December 31 and practiced nursing in violation of the RN Act.
