WE EXIST TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
As the regulator for registered nurses (RNs) and nurse practitioners (RN(NP)s), we’re here to keep you safe. We ensure registered nurses practise safely, competently and ethically by:
Supporting RNs to meet these standards
Taking action when the standards are not met
Setting education, registration and practice standards
HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO OUR WORK: n We have a registration process to ensure applicants are qualified and competent n We set the standards of nursing practice that all RNs must meet every day
n We approve registered nursing education programs n We receive and handle complaints about registered nursing practice and take appropriate action with fairness and transparency
WE’RE ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU

WILDLY IMPORTANT GOALS We establish “wildly important goals” related to our strategic priorities and set to achieve them by the end of the year. Our complete scorecard tracks our performance and is available on our website throughout the year to provide an update for RNs and the public. ONGOING LEARNING All RNs in Manitoba are required to complete ongoing education each year and document these activities through the continuing competence program. Participating in this program is one of the ways RNs demonstrate to the public their commitment to providing the best care possible.
You can confirm the registration status of an RN or RN(NP) anytime using our online real-time verification system. Visit crnm.mb.ca and click on the Nurse Check logo.
COMPLAINTS PROCESS On the rare occasion where standards are compromised, we take action. We strive to do this with fairness and objectivity, to protect the public and maintain your confidence in the RN profession. In 2016, the College received 76 complaints.
