About the College of Nurses of Ontario

[Français]

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is the governing body for the 145,000 registered nurses (RNs) and registered practical nurses (RPNs) in Ontario, Canada.

The College regulates nursing to protect the public interest and sets requirements to enter the profession, establishes and enforces standards of nursing practice, and assures the quality of practice of the profession and the continuing competence of nurses.

The nursing profession has been self-regulating in Ontario since 1963. The College works in partnership with employers, educators and government so that everyone in Ontario benefits from quality nursing services.
