The Registered Nurses Act & Regulations require CRNM to verify a registered nurse meets the practice hours requirement of the Continuing Competence Program. This entails verifying through a third party (your employer) that the minimum 1,125 hours have been worked in the last 5 years. For RN(EP)s/NPs, this means verifying through a third party (your employer) that the minimum 1,800 total registered nurse (extended practice) hours have been worked in the last 3 years.

Registered nurses are required to practice a minimum of 1,125 hours as a registered nurse over the previous 5 years or 450 hours in the previous 2 years. RN(EP)s/NPs are required to practice a minimum of 1,800 hours over the last three year period or 600 hours in the previous year.

You should register on the Non-Practicing Register only if you will not be engaging in the practice of nursing but want to participate in and vote at meetings of CRNM, participate in certain committees and receive copies of official CRNM publications

Contact that province for more information. Verification of your registration will need to be provided by CRNM to that province. They will provide you with a form to fill out and forward to us. There is a fee of $52.50 (includes GST) for this service.

All members with undertakings or agreements are required to provide a copy to their nursing employer(s). Make sure that you have a copy on file and provide written confirmation to the College about having received a copy. If you would like a template for confirmation we can provide one for you.

Read through the entire undertaking/agreement and determine if there are any other employer expectations, for example, the employer may be asked to provide employer reports regarding the member’s nursing practice. If you have questions regarding the terms please call the College and speak to someone in the Complaints Resolution area.
