Documents to be sent to SRNA

(either scan and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , fax to 306-359-0257, or mail)

If you have not worked in Saskatchewan for five years or more, send us a Consent Form to Obtain Employment Verification Information. You must give your most recent RN employer's contact information. We will send it with a reference questionnaire to your most recent RN employer, who must return it directly to our office.

If your name has changed since you were last registered in Saskatchewan, send us your change of name documentation (e.g. marriage certificate). If you wish to go back to a previous (maiden) name, send us a signed and dated letter advising which name you wish to use.

If you have completed a nursing re-entry/refresher program within the last five years and have not practised 1125 hours as a RN since that date, have the transcript forwarded by the nursing program directly to our office.

Registered Nurse (RN) Licensure

Once we receive all requirements and your application is approved, we will send you instructions to process your licence.

Check your registration status online at www.srna.org under Membership Profile Management to confirm that you are licenced as a RN before you begin work. Practising without a licence is in violation of The Registered Nurses Act, 1988 and there would be no liability coverage for either yourself or your employer.

We will mail a licence and receipt to you after the effective date.

RNs are required to participate in the Continuing Competence Program. See our Online Tutorial and documents.

If you have RN registration in another jurisdiction affiliated with CNA for the same year you are applying for in Saskatchewan, you will be eligible for the dual registration fee reduction (excludes CNO and Quebec).

If you are licenced in Ontario and have a membership with RNAO, send us a copy of your RNAO membership card to be eligible for the dual registration fee reduction.
