About Us

In Canada, nursing is a profession that includes two regulated nursing groups: Registered Nurse (RN) and Registered Practical Nurse (RPN). The title “nurse” can only be used by those professionals who are licensed or registered by the nursing regulatory body, college or association in one of the Canadian provinces where they intend to work. In Ontario, the regulatory body of nursing is called College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO).

Each province and territory have their own regulations as it allows them to protect public health and safety. It also ensures that nurses meet the required standards before working in the community.

Registered Nurse (RN)

RNs usually complete a four-year post-secondary university nursing program to become eligible to work in Ontario, Canada. The program contains theory and clinical instruction in medical and surgical nursing. It includes in-depth study of concepts, such as:

  • humanities;
  • nursing theory;
  • physical and biological sciences;
  • primary health;
  • professional ethics;
  • social and behavioural sciences and;
  • therapeutic relationships.

The program prepares the RNs to give direct care and to take on the role of coordinating care for individuals, families, groups, communities and populations in a variety of health care setting and with a variety of health professionals. Clinical instruction prepares the RN to take a leadership role when the care requirements become more complex.

Registered Practical Nurse (RPN)

RPNs complete a post-secondary nursing program at the college level that usually takes two years. The RPN program contains nursing theory and clinical instruction in both medical and surgical nursing. Their education is based on nursing theory, and they study:

  • physical and biological sciences;
  • professional ethics;
  • psychology and;
  • therapeutic relationships.

RPNs provide and coordinate care for individuals, families, and groups in a variety of settings and with a variety of health professionals. They can work with clients of varying complexity, recognizing when consultation and collaboration with other health professionals is required.

After reviewing these requirements for nursing careers in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for registration/licensure as an RN or RPN. For registration/licensure in any of these nursing groups, you may require further education and/or assessment of your nursing knowledge.
