Registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) will soon be able to practise in Nova Scotia.
The Province has amended the Nursing Regulations under the Nursing Act to enable registration and licensing and establish the framework and scope of practice for these specialized healthcare professionals.
“This is about expanding the roles that can support mental healthcare for Nova Scotians, and we’re proud to support our partners to bring registered psychiatric nurses into our healthcare system,” said Michelle Thompson, Minister of Health and Wellness. “Moving forward, these nurses will be recognized for their unique skill and supported to work to their full scope of practice so they can make the intended impact.”
RPNs have specialized education and training that prepare them to work in a variety of mental health and addictions settings with diverse populations.
They will be regulated by the Nova Scotia College of Nursing. Nine other provinces and territories regulate RPNs or soon will.
The amendment takes effect today, December 1, and Nova Scotia Health will begin recruitment in January.
