As of June 4, 2019, NSCN (www.nscn.ca) opened its doors with a mandate to regulate all nurses in Nova Scotia. A significant amount of work has gone into preparing for the transition to a single nursing regulator for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s), Registered Nurses (RN’s) and Nurse Practitioners (NP’s). Sue Smith has assumed the role of CEO and Registrar.
NNAS wishes the staff all the best for the future of their combined organization and acknowledges the hard work of all the legacy regulator’s staff in achieving this milestone.
