Overview
To protect the public through the regulation of Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners.
Established through The Registered Nurses Act, 1988 and driven by values that focus on the protection of the people of Saskatchewan, the College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan (CRNS) is the profession-led regulatory body for the province’s 15,000 Registered Nurses (RN), Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Registered Nurses with Additional Authorized Practice [RN(AAP)]. The CRNS sets high standards for nursing education, practice and registration including initial and ongoing licensure requirements, approving practice standards and a code of conduct, approving nursing education programs, developing and monitoring continuing competence program requirements and competence assurance mechanisms such as complaints investigation and the discipline process.
To contribute to this tradition and advance quality, competent nursing care in Saskatchewan, the CRNS is seeking an RN or NP for a permanent full-time position.
