Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association

To practise nursing in Saskatchewan, you must be registered and licenced to practise registered nursing with the SRNA. Only if you have a licence to practise nursing can you call yourself, or be employed as, a "nurse", "registered nurse", "graduate nurse", "registered nurse (nurse practitioner)" or "registered nurse (graduate nurse practitioner)".

This application package is for Canadian RN applicants who have been deemed eligible for/granted registration in another Canadian province/territory.

Applications will remain valid for one year from the date of the last contact by the applicant. Last contact shall be defined as the provision of documentation/information to support the application process. Regulations and entry requirements are subject to bylaw and policy changes.
