The Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) requires the Council of PEICNM to establish a Continuing Competence Program (CCP) for all Registered Nurses (RNs), Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Registered Midwives (RMs), and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs). Participation in the CCP is mandatory for annual registration and is required regardless of employment status.
For Nurses:
Please see the Continuing Competence Program Guidance Document for more details and step-by-step instructions.
As outlined in Step 1 of the Guidance Document, each nurse is required to conduct and document a self-assessment of their individual competence. Please select the self-assessment that corresponds to your nursing designation below.
