Introduction
The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is the governing body for
nurses in Ontario, Canada. Our purpose is to protect the public by
promoting safe nursing practice.
CNO sets the requirements for becoming a nurse in Ontario and the
standards of practice that nurses must meet to maintain that
designation. Only a person with a valid certificate of registration from
CNO can practice as a nurse in Ontario and use the protected titles:
nurse, Registered Nurse (RN),
Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) or Nurse
Practitioner (NP).
Every year, CNO requires registrants in the General, Extended and
Non-Practising classes to renew their registration. As part of the
renewal process, CNO collects registrants’ demographic and employment
information to carry out its regulatory mandate. A small percentage of
registrants obtain registration in both the RN and RPN categories. At
renewal, these individuals can choose to renew one or both
registrations. In 2022, 778 registrants renewed in both the RN General
Class and the RPN General Class.
This report presents demographic and employment statistics of the
nurses who renewed their registrations for 2022 and compares it to
data from the 2015-2021 renewal periods.
Earlier in 2022, the Interim Registration Statistics Report was
released, containing data up to the February 17, 2022 suspension date.
This report contains an additional 528 registrants and represents the
final numbers for the 2022 cohort.
CNO continually enhances its reports based on stakeholder feedback.
To find out more about CNO’s statistical resources or to sign up for its
statistics announcements, please visit www.cno.org/stats.

Overall Working Status
The following section shows the overall working status of registrants
employed in nursing in Ontario.
Overall working status (full-time, part-time or casual) is
the highest working status amongst all of a registrant’s nursing
positions. The three examples below illustrate how overall working
status is calculated:
- Example 1: If a registrant has both a casual
nursing position and a full-time nursing position, the registrant’s
overall working status is full-time.
- Example 2: If a registrant has three casual nursing
positions, the registrant’s overall working status is casual.
- Example 3: If a registrant has one part-time
nursing position and one full-time non-nursing position, the
registrant’s overall working status is part-time.
