Changes to Registration Policy R2 – Nurse Practitioner Requirements

As of January 1, 2010, a Nurse Practitioner working in a Community Health Nurse position will no longer have those hours counted as Nurse Practitioner practice hours.

In December of 2008 the Board of Directors of the RNANT/NU authorized the following amendment to Registration Policy 1.2:

The Policy now accepts the following as acceptable exams – Canadian Nurse Practitioner Exam (CNPE), the American Nurse Credentialing Centre (ANCC) Family Nurse Practitioner Exam, if approved by another Canadian Regulatory body, and the College of Nurses of Ontario Extended Class registration Examination (ECRE).

For the full policy or if you require clarification, please contact either

Sheila Humphrey, Director of Regulatory Service and Policy or

Steven Leck, Executive Director
