Who We Are

The College was established in 1913 and is governed under The Regulated Health Professions Act which sets out our responsibilities.

  • We regulate registered nursing practice in Manitoba
  • We support RNs to provide safe, competent, and ethical care
  • We set standards for education, registration, and practice
  • We take action when the standards are not met

We are focused on sustaining patient safety and broader public benefit through meaningful registered nursing practice solutions for Manitoba healthcare.

To protect and serve the public interest through quality registered nursing regulation.

We act with integrity in every interaction as the best way to enhance our sustained regulatory impact and to ensure our standing as a reputable, trustworthy and unbiased partner

We seek progress, embrace risks and pursue innovative operational and regulatory practices to ensure our continued excellence and impact in a dynamic environment

We are transparent and take ownership for our actions, decisions and outcomes

We challenge the status quo for meaningful collaboration with partners and greater transparency and ease of navigation for applicants, registrants and the public


The College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (College) respectfully acknowledges that our offices, our registrants, and the public we serve reside and work on the traditional territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininewak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, and Dene, and on the national homeland of the Red River Métis.  

The College recognizes the historic and ongoing impacts that colonization and systemic discrimination have on the health of First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and that we must take continued, meaningful actions to advance reconciliation and affect change in the regulation of registered nurses.  

We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, and we are committed to moving forward in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration
