The College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan (CRNS), in collaboration with other nursing regulatory bodies across Canada, is replacing the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Code of Ethics, 2017 with a Code of Conduct document. The CNA Code of Ethics, 2017 is considered aspirational and will continue to be available as a guide for nurses.
The CRNS’s mandate is to protect the public through the regulation of RNs, RN(AAP)s and NPs. To further support this mandate, the CRNS has drafted the Code of Conduct that outlines the expectations of registrants to maintain professionalism, competence and ethical behavior to deliver safe client care. All RNs, RN(AAP)s and NPs will be expected to comply with the CRNS Code of Conduct.
As part of the external consultation process, the CRNS is seeking feedback on the Code of Conduct document from registrants and external partners, including the public. Please complete the following survey by Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 4 pm.
