NP License Renewal
This section is for you if you intend to renew your NP license to practice in Saskatchewan.
We are experiencing a high volume of requests due to our yearly renewal, as a result you may experience a delayed response.
CRNS Application Requirements
To renew a practising NP license you must renew your practising RN license before you start your NP renewal process.
You must have completed one option in the last three years:
Option 1: Graduated from an approved nurse practitioner education program.
Option2: Worked a minimum of 900 hours of NP practice.
Option 3: Completed an approved nurse practitioner nursing re-entry program. If you have completed a nursing re-entry program within the last three years have the transcript forwarded by the nursing program directly to our office.

After a 2 years absence from a practicing NP licensure applicants must submit:
