College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba

The purpose of regulation is to protect the public by ensuring that RNs practice in a safe, competent and ethical manner. We carry out our work in a number of ways:

Setting standards for registered nursing education, registration and practice:
• We approve nursing education programs.
• We have a registration process to ensure registered nurses are qualified and competent.
• We set the standards of nursing practice that all RNs are required to meet every day.
• We set and monitor continuing competence requirements, in which RNs demonstrate their efforts to remain current in their
nursing knowledge.

Supporting registered nurses in meeting the standards:
• We provide educational opportunities and resources.
• We provide practice consultation services.

Taking action when the standards are not met:
• We receive and handle complaints about registered nursing practice and take appropriate action with fairness and transparency.
