Registration Statistics Report 2022

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 registration¹. 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 2022² 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.
