The public can verify the registration of a registered nurse (RN), nurse practitioner (NP) or graduate nurse (GN) in Manitoba through the College’s online public register called
CRNM Nurse Check. This easy-to-use online tool is intended to help members of the public identify whether a person providing services as an RN, NP or GN in Manitoba is registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (CRNM) and whether there are any conditions or restrictions on that nurse's practice.
By inputting part of an RN, NP or GN’s first or last name or registration number into CRNM Nurse Check, the user is able to see the individual’s registration status (RN, NP, GN, non-practicing etc.), registration expiry date and any conditions on their practice. This information is public information under the Registered Nurses Act and Regulation and was previously available by calling the College during business hours. An online verification service has been available to employers of registered nurses since 2004.
CRNM is required to have a register of members available to the public. With the launch of CRNM Nurse Check, the College joins several other health profession regulators in Canada who have moved to online public registers. Online public registers are considered best practice in the regulation of health professionals because this method of registration verification minimizes the risk of illegal practitioners fraudulently obtaining employment and is a more accessible mechanism for checking a professional’s registration status.
Verification requests are processed in real-time based on information contained in our member database at the time of the request. A short processing delay may occur between the time an individual applies for registration until approval is granted and the information is entered into the register. If you believe there are any discrepancies between the CRNM Nurse Check results and your records, please contact Registration Services immediately.
