Registration for Virtual Practice

• Are you a practical nurse, registered in good standing in another Canadian jurisdiction, who provides nursing services by virtual means (e.g. online, by telephone)?
• Are some of your clients in Manitoba?  Or might they be?
• Do you provide nursing services, by virtual means, through a program or organization that is affiliated with the publicly funded health care system in Manitoba?

If the answer to each of these questions is “yes”  you may be eligible for a low-cost and expedited registration from the CLPNM for the purposes of your virtual practice.

Note that the CLPNM takes the position that you require a CLPNM registration to provide practical nursing care to clients who are located in Manitoba, even by virtual means. This is the case even if you hold registration as a practical nurse in another Canadian jurisdiction. Individuals located within the geographical boundaries of the Province of Manitoba are entitled to expect the Manitoba standard of care from a practical nurse, regardless of where the nurse is located.

Please contact the CLPNM Registration Department for more information on obtaining registration for virtual practice.

Please ensure you also review the CLPNM’s Practice Direction on Telepractice.
