Registration where Educated
You must have been registered in good standing in the jurisdiction where you were educated as a nurse.
Registration in Good Standing
You must be registered in good standing in the jurisdiction where you most recently worked as a nurse.
Language Proficiency
English is the primary language used in health care in Saskatchewan. We require that you are proficient in English to ensure safe nursing practice.
Good Character
You will answer good character questions on our Application for Assessment form and provide any relevant explanation. We will also get an employer reference and follow up with any concerns about good character.
Hours of Practice
In the last five years, you must have either:
Continuing Competence
Continuing competence is defined as the ongoing ability of a registered nurse to integrate and apply the knowledge, skills, judgement and personal attributes required to practise safely and ethically in a designated role and setting. In Saskatchewan, the Continuing Competence Program has four components: personal assessment, feedback, learning plan and evaluation. You must have fulfilled the continuing competence requirements of the jurisdiction where you most recently practised registered nursing.
Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE)
Once we have approved your application, you can apply to write the CRNE. You have to pass the CRNE to register as a RN in Saskatchewan. (If you were registered in the United States by the National League for Nursing State Board Test Pool examination before 1970, you do not have to write the CRNE.)
