On December 19, 2025, the Ministry of Health approved changes to CRNS Bylaws that removed the Nurse Practitioner (NP) Specialty Categories.
As we move into the implementation phase for the general NP model, CRNS will be implementing a series of regulatory changes to reflect the transition. The removal of the NP Specialty Categories is a step in the transition.
The removal of the Specialty Categories does not impact NPs currently practicing in Saskatchewan but will support increased interprovincial mobility and contribute to improved access to health care services across Canada.
