Nominations are being sought for the following awards:
Late Fee and Unauthorized Practice PenaltyA late fee of $50.00 (plus GST) is now in effect on all registration renewal applications. This fee 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. Renew today. Online renewal is available via the College website at www.crnm.mb.caPlease note that an unauthorized practice penalty will be imposed where a member has failed to renew by December 31 and practiced nursing in violation of the RN Act. The penalty is $500 (plus GST) and is over and above the practicing registration fee. It applies for any calendar year, or part year, when a person practiced in Manitoba while not registered to practice nursing. This penalty is in addition to sanctions provided under the Registered Nurses Act, Regulations and CRNM policies. Upcoming Professional Practice Series Sessions1300-1430 hrs: CRNM Boardroom, 890 Pembina Hwy (in-person or via teleconference)1130-1230 hrs: MBTelehealth Lunch N Learn In an effort to make our very popular professional practice series accessible to more registered nurses, we have expanded the initiative to include a lunch and learn session available only via the MBTelehealth network. In order to participate via MBTelehealth you need to follow your own internal procedures to book your telehealth equipment so you can view and participate in the broadcast. In addition, you need to register with Melva Nordquist at the College so we know to look for you in the session and also so we can send out any printed materials in advance. Space for these sessions will be limited initially as we undergo our own learning curve on delivering via MBTelehealth, but we will expand the number of participants as we become more familiar and adept at the technology. We are excited about the potential for this new delivery option and hope you consider participating in your facility. NB: Apparently the more lead time you book your participation in advance, the greater likelihood you will be able to access equipment and minimize the chances of being bumped (according to advice we received from MBTelehealth).
Our Nursing Practice Consultant team provides education and consultation services to members and employers in worksites across the province. Give us a call if you wish to book a session in your worksite or have a suggestion for future topics. We’re here to help! |
