RN prescribing: Collaborating for success

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is proactively engaging with employers to help support the implementation of Registered Nurse (RN) prescribing in practice settings across the province. RN prescribing, which came into effect on November 6, 2023, enables qualified RNs to prescribe certain medications and communicate a diagnosis for the purpose of prescribing.

This expanded scope of practice helps to improve accessibility to certain medications, streamlines health care delivery and empowers RNs to play a more integral role in patient treatment plans.
