CNPS: More than liability protection
Registering for the Canadian Nurses Protective Society (CNPS) professional liability protection and core services is a requirement for registration with NANB.
The CNPS is a not-for-profit society that offers legal advice, risk-management services, legal assistance and professional liability protection related to nursing practice to over 150,000 eligible nurses across all Canadian provinces and territories. A non-profit legal support system created by nurses for nurses, the CNPS is specifically tailored to meet the professional liability protection needs of nurses in all professional nursing roles.

While the CNPS was created to offer eligible Canadian nurses a source of protection in the event of a legal proceeding, it believes that prevention is key. As part of CNPS professional liability protection and core services, you gain access to educational webinars and publications, and you can also take advantage of CNPS legal services, which enable you to speak with a lawyer at any time, at no additional cost.
Should you have any specific legal questions related to your nursing practice, you may contact the CNPS directly at 1-800-267-3390 or via email.
