Applying for a Practicing RPN Registration

Once the RPNCE has been successfully completed, applicants are eligible to apply for an initial practicing RPN registration with RPNAS. Upon successful completion of the RPNCE, RPNAS will be in contact with applicants with further instructions for registering for a RPN practicing registration. Conversion from GPN to RPN registration is expected for passing candidates once the results of the RPNCE are known.

Any applicant who wishes to initially practise as a RPN in Saskatchewan must hold a practicing RPN registration.
