The provisions of the Endorsement Agreement apply to, and are limited to: Persons registered or eligible for registration with the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (CRPNBC), the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba (CRPNM), the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Association of Alberta (RPNAA), or the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Association of Saskatchewan (RPNAS). A person registered or eligible for registration with one of the above regulatory bodies may be granted registration if the applicant provides the appropriate documentation and meets the criteria that follow.

Application for Registration (Form R-01): This form is to be completed in the applicant's handwriting. Please note the affidavit section of the Application for Registration form.

Proof of identity The most acceptable proof of identity is a birth certificate and picture identification. If the current name differs from that on the birth certificate, additional valid proof of the change of name is required (e.g. marriage certificate).

Confirmation of Registration (Form R-02): Complete, sign and date section A of this form and then forward the form to your current or most recent regulatory body. The regulatory body will return the form directly to the CRPNM; to do otherwise would invalidate the form. A Registrar's Certificate will be issued from the applicant's current jurisdiction providing information on the following criteria:

• Proof of current practising registration or eligibility for practising registration.
• Proof that the applicant's registration is in good standing and/or that the name has never been removed for cause (to their knowledge) from ANY register of a regulatory body.
• Proof of practice as a REGISTERED PSYCHIATRIC NURSE for at least 1400 hours in a recognized jurisdiction during the immediately preceding five-year period.

Employer's Reference (Form R-03): Complete, sign and date section A of this form and then forward the form to your current or most recent employer. The employer will return the form directly to the CRPNM; to do otherwise will invalidate the form. If the applicant has had no work experience, other references may be required. If you have not had any work experience please contact the CRPNM office.

Criminal Records Check and Child Abuse Registry Check must be included with your application and must be current within six months of the date of application. Criminal records check must include a vulnerable sector search.

A $50.00 fee must accompany the application form to cover the cost of processing if you have not ever been registered in Manitoba.

Once all the appropriate information is received in this office, the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba will review the material. The applicant will then be advised of the decision and informed of the applicable registration fees.

YOU MAY NOT PRACTICE AS A REGISTERED PSYCHIATRIC NURSE IN MANITOBA WITHOUT VALID REGISTRATION.
