That means we ensure that all registered nurses and nurse practitioners are qualified to provide safe, ethical care ─ in the same way that driver licensing helps ensure that anyone who has a driver’s license can operate a vehicle safely on our roads.
We have been guiding the registered nursing profession since 1913, and throughout that time we’ve been committed to one central goal: protection and service of the public interest through quality registered nursing regulation.
We are focused on sustaining patient safety and broader public benefit through meaningful registered nursing practice solutions for Manitoba healthcare.
To protect and serve the public interest through quality registered nursing regulation.

Progressive: We seek progress, embrace risks and pursue innovative operational and regulatory practices to ensure our continued excellence and impact in a dynamic environment
Accountable: We are transparent and take ownership for our actions, decisions and outcomes
Relationship Oriented: We challenge the status quo for meaningful collaboration with partners and greater transparency and ease of navigation for applicants, registrants and the public
The College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (College) respectfully acknowledges that our offices, our registrants, and the public we serve reside and work on the traditional territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininewak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, and Dene, and on the national homeland of the Red River Métis.
The College recognizes the historic and ongoing impacts that colonization and systemic discrimination have on the health of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and that we must take continued, meaningful actions to advance reconciliation and affect change in the regulation of registered nurses.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, and we are committed to moving forward in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
The College is committed to working together with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Knowledge Keepers, Elders and community members to advance reconciliation, cultural safety and humility in registered nursing regulation and practice. While we are early in this journey, we dedicate ourselves to engaging respectfully and in a spirit of partnership.
