Continuing Competence Program

A continuing competence program is a program that focuses on promoting the maintenance and enhancement of competencies of registered nurses throughout their careers. Competence is continually maintained and acquired through reflective practice, lifelong learning and integration of learning into nursing practice as demonstrated through completion of the College’s Continuing Competence Program. Every year, registered nurses who wish to continue to practice are required to renew their registration with the College. To be eligible for registration renewal, one of the requirements is that members have completed the College’s Continuing Competence Program on an annual basis.

Please visit the RN Requirements and Documents page or the RN(EP)/NP Requirements and Documents page for further information and to download the appropriate documents to complete the program. Remember to keep your continuing competence documentation for FIVE years for auditing purposes.
