Non-Practicing Membership

Non-practicing membership allows you to:

  2. Receive College Communications (e.g., College Connection magazine & RegulatioN Matters e-newsletter) 
  3. Vote in Annual General Meeting (AGM) or special meetings of the College.
  4. Trust Membership (OPTIONAL) – The Newfoundland and Labrador Registered Nurses’ Education & Research Trust is a registered charitable foundation to promote support and assist basic nursing education, continuing nursing education and nursing research.  Your $10 membership fee helps ensure the financial stability of the Trust and entitles you to apply for Trust scholarships and bursaries.

Registrants who hold a non-practicing membership and plan to return to practice are reminded that:

  • Before you can renew a practicing licence you must complete the College’s Continuing Competency Program requirements. This includes logging 24 learning activity hours and summative evaluation before applying for a practicing licence. Registrants must document their learning within the MyCCP log. The log can be accessed through the MyCRNNL portal.
  • Registrants who practice without a valid practicing licence will be subject to an Unauthorized Practice ($100/shift worked with a maximum fee of three times the regular licensure cost) and subject to discipline where the period of practice exceeds 3 shifts from and including the 1st shift. Applies to nursing practice in all domains (clinical, administration, education, and policy/research).

To help you navigate online renewal the College encourages you to utilize our Frequently Asked Questions.
