March 2020 - Special Edition
Participate in CNO consultations

We are looking for your feedback on two proposed changes affecting nursing practice:

RN prescribing notation on public Register (Find a Nurse)

This proposed by-law change would allow CNO to put information on the public Register to indicate that an RN can prescribe certain medications. To comment, read the details on the consultation page and complete the included online survey.

RPN scope of practice changes: addition to the controlled acts regulation

This proposed regulation would give RPNs the authority to perform components of four controlled acts without first obtaining an order. To comment, read the details on the consultation page and complete the included online survey.

The deadline to comment for both consultations is Monday, May 11, 2020.

All nurses are invited to participate. Please forward this email to any colleagues who may be interested in providing input.
