National Nurse Practitioner Week is Nov. 9-15, 2025!

The Canadian Nurses Protective Society salutes and celebrates the dedication and expertise of Canada’s Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and their commitment to delivering high-quality, comprehensive care.

NPs have extensive education and nursing experience that allows them to run independent practices, serve as primary care providers, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals within multidisciplinary teams. Some key responsibilities that are part of NP work include autonomously diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpret tests, prescribing medications, and performing medical procedures. With the ongoing evolution of Canada’s healthcare system, NPs are a crucial part of the healthcare team.

CNPS is proud to offer support and services for NPs. We provide specialized publications, webinars and other resources to help NPs manage risk and enhance their nursing practice. When complex and difficult situations arise, CNPS lawyers can also provide one-to-one confidential legal advice and assistance to our beneficiaries.

This National Nurse Practitioner Week show your support for Canada’s NPs working across the country!
