The mandate of the CRPNM is to protect the public. As such, the Regulated Health Professions Act states that the CRPNM must have a Continuing Competency Program (CCP). The main purpose of the CCP is to ensure that RPNs continually assess their learning needs, find ways to fill these needs and put them into practice to ensure that clients are receiving safe and competent care.
