Notifying the College of Changes to Practice

Changes to any self-employed nursing practice must be declared to the College prior to the change occurring, and the employer profile must be kept up to date.

When to notify the College:

• When Opening, Closing, Leaving or Moving a Self-Employed Practice, Policy AA-17 identifies what must be disclosed to the College.
• Before changing (adding/deleting) nursing services being provided within a self-employed practice, the College must be notified by completing another Self-Employed Nursing Practice Notification & Declaration. Clearly identifying the change to your practice in the Summary/Update of Registered Nursing Services to be provided section.
• For Health Profession Corporations (HPC), notification of any changes to shareholders, or changes to the purpose of the corporation is required.

 

Updating Employer Profile on your CRNM profile

It is important that your Employer Profile matches your current employment status. In this situation, the employer is someone that you are working through and receiving payment from.

For example:

Self Employed Role	Employer Identification
Agency nurse is an independent contractor working through agencies	Identify the agency(ies) you work through
Agency nurse is a Health Profession Corporation (HPC)/sole proprietorship/non-registered business working through other agencies	Identify the agency(ies) you work through
Independent contractor or HPC working through contracts with other businesses	Identify the company you have a contract with
Own a business/HPC/sole proprietorship/non-registered business and work through that business (non-agency)	The name of your business
Independent contractor/sole proprietor/nonregistered business/HPC working through an individual and not a company/facility	You would identify yourself or the name of your business/HPC/sole proprietorship in place of members of the public.
