Professional standards outline the expectations for nursing and midwifery practice. Every registrant in Nova Scotia is responsible for upholding these standards to ensure safe, competent, ethical, and compassionate care.
Notice: The NSNMR office will be closed July 1-3, 2026. Staff will be available virtually for urgent matters July 2-3.
Effective June 30th, the Nova Scotia Nursing and Midwifery Regulator (NSNMR) was formed as a multi-profession regulator, replacing the former Nova Scotia College of Nursing and the Midwifery Regulatory Council of Nova Scotia. We appreciate your patience as we update our systems, processes, documents, and website to align with our new name and legislation.
