This revised process focuses on evolving and innovative RN and NP roles and settings, relying on the nurse as expert, and incorporating principles of right touch regulation.
Confirming Nursing Practice (CNP) is a regulatory process whereby the registrant confirms the activity or service they provide meets all the legislative requirements and definition of RN or NP practice.
To complete the CNP Process:
- review the CRNS Legislated Scope of Practice Self-Assessment Tool;
- watch the CNP educational video; and,
- log into your Alinity account to submit the CNP form on your dashboard.
CNP is meant for registrants who are or who will be working in non-traditional roles or settings, who are self-employed, engaged in independent practice, or who are in a role that does not specifically require the knowledge and competency of an RN or NP.
