Registered Nurses & Nurse Practitioners
RNs and NPs serve the College in many capacities, such as:
• elected members of Council
• members of College committees, working groups and disciplinary panel
• participants in focus groups, and research surveys
RN Resource Index
If you wish to become an RN volunteer, your name will be added to our RN Resource Index – a database of RNs who are interested in contributing to achieving the goals of the College.
If you are interested in volunteering and are not already enrolled in the resource index, you can submit a request at the RN Resource Index page.
Please be advised that we will keep your profile on file for a period of two years. In order to be sure you are still interested in volunteering for activities, it will be necessary to submit another profile at that time.
National Volunteer Opportunities
There are also volunteer opportunities for members to participate in exam development:
• National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCLEX-RN)
• Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (Nurse Practitioner)

• Previous committee or board experience;
• Time to devote to the role;
• Volunteer or work experience that demonstrates acting in the public interest.
Note: Registered Nurses are not eligible to serve in public representative positions.
