2 Nurse Practitioners in Canada This research was requested by the Health Care Co-operative Federation of Canada. It covers statistics on nurse practitioners and provincial legislation related to nurse practitioners. 1. Statistics a. Employment of Nurse Practitioners, by Province (2009) Jurisdiction Number of Nurse Practitioners Employed in Nursing Canada 1,990 Newfoundland and 94 Labrador Prince Edward * Island Nova Scotia 85 New Brunswick 55 Quebec 38 Ontario 1,124 Manitoba 6 Saskatchewan 111 Alberta 251 British Columbia 119 Yukon - N.W.T. and Nunavut 46 *number withheld due to privacy - not applicable Source: Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), Regulated Nurses: Canadian Trends,

5 e. Median Hourly Wage and Annual Salary of Nurse Practitioners (2011) Pay Rate Low Value (CAD) Median Value (CAD) High Value (CAD) Median Hourly Rate $24.75 $36.45 $40.31 Median Annual Rate $44,275 $65,205 $72,118 The lowest nurse practitioner salary in Canada is less than $43,500. The highest salary is over $70,500. Presumably this is offset by costs of living and other factors. The lower pay levels are associated with rural areas. The highest pay levels are found in metropolitan areas. Demand and low supply seem to be a significant factor in fueling higher salaries. Specialization will influence wages but the majority are generalists who collaborate with other specialists to deliver holistic care. Source: Healthcare Salary Canada, Nurse Practitioner Salary f. Nurse Practitioners Working to Full Scope of Practice, by setting in Ontario (2003) Data for nurse practitioners working to their full scope of practice in Canada was unavailable. However, a 2003 study on nurse practitioners in Ontario was found. Setting Percentage of Working to Full Scope of Practice Community Health Centre 90.4 Primary Care Networks/Health Service 88.9 Organization Outpost Station 87.5 Long Term Care Facility 76.9 Aboriginal Setting 71.4 Fee-For-Service Setting 67.7 Source: Adapted from IBM & Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Report on the Integration of Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioners in Ontario. 4
6 g. Supervision of Nurse Practitioners Supervision statistics for nurse practitioners was not available. Supervision is highly dependent on the situation. Some nurse practitioners are supervised by either a regulated nurse or a physician. In remote locations, nurse practitioners are sometimes the only healthcare provider in the community. 5
7 2. Nurse Practitioner Legislation and Scope of Practice, by Province Province Legislation Scope of Practice Newfoundland & Labrador P.E.I. In 1997, the Registered Nurses Act was amended to provide for Nurse Practitioners (NP). It was further amended in 2001 to provide for practice protocols. Practice protocols for specialties are developed by employing agencies and approved by a committee established under the Registered Nurses Act, using the approval process established and approved by the Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador (ARNNL) Council and the Minister of Health and Community Services. On February 25, 2006, P.E.I. proclaimed the new Registered Nurses Act, which allows nurse practitioners to work to their full scope of practice in the province. Under the Registered Nurses Act, NPs are authorized to: refer to a physician, including specialists; make and communicate a diagnosis; order laboratory or other diagnostic tests; prescribe a drug (as prescribed in regulation or a practice protocol issued to them); and provide emergency care. The new Registered Nurses Act authorizes NPs to: make and communicate a diagnosis under certain conditions; order and interpret laboratory or other diagnostic tests and X-rays; prescribe drugs (per guidelines); provide emergency care; and order the application of forms of energy. The Diagnostic and Therapeutics Committee has been formed to formulate, maintain and revise the Nurse Practitioner Medication Prescription Guidelines. 6
8 Nova Scotia The Registered Nurses Act, effective January 2, 2002, includes both RNs and NPs. New Brunswick Quebec In July 2002, amendments to the Nurses Act (1984 amended in 1997 and 2002) provided the NP definition and practice and the creation of the NP Therapeutics Committee. Amendments to other acts allowed NPs to do their work under the authority of other acts (Pharmacy Act, Hospital Act, Radiological Health Protection Act, etc.). An Act to amend the Professional Code and other legislative provisions as regards the health sector (Bill 90) is a new law in force since January 30, 2003, which modifies Article 36 of the Nurses Act and creates a new article, Article 36.1, to regulate specialized NP practice in Quebec. In essence, Quebec s Nurses Act includes a clause that requires adoption of regulations from both the medical and nursing regulatory bodies to define the expanded scope of practice for specialized NPs. Regulations were developed collaboratively between the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) and The Registered Nurses Act authorizes NPs (both primary health care and specialty NPs) to: make diagnoses of diseases, disorders or conditions and communicate those diagnoses to clients; order and interpret selected screening and diagnostic tests; and select, recommend, prescribe and monitor the effectiveness of certain drugs and treatments. According to the Nurses Act, a NP may: diagnose or assess a disease, disorder or condition and communicate the diagnosis or assessment to the patient; order and interpret screening and diagnostic tests; select, prescribe and monitor the effectiveness of drugs; and order the application of forms of energy. The new law gives NPs the right to engage in five additional activities, according to conditions and terms set out by regulations and for each specialty: prescribing diagnostic examinations; using diagnostic techniques that are invasive or entail risks of injury; prescribing medications and other substances; prescribing medical treatment; and using techniques or applying medical treatments that are invasive or entail risks of injury. 7
9 Ontario the Collège des médecins du Québec. The regulations for three specialties (neonatology, cardiology and nephrology) were approved by Quebec s government on October 26, 2005, and came into force on November 24 of that year. Regulations for primary health care are now in process. In Ontario, RNs in the Extended Class (RN[EC]) are regulated under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 and the Nursing Act, Manitoba Manitoba s Registered Nurses Act was proclaimed in 2001 as new legislation. The new Extended Practice Regulation was approved on March 22, 2005, and came into force on June 15, The Nursing Act authorizes RN(EC)s to carry out three additional controlled acts: communicate a diagnosis; order the application of energy, such as ultrasound and some X-rays (may also order laboratory or other diagnostic tests, as specified in regulation); and prescribe and administer certain drugs as listed in regulation. The legislation requires RN(EC)s to adhere to consultation standards that include developing a consultation network with other health care providers, including physicians. RNs who meet the requirements in the Extended Practice Regulation will have the authority to include the following services in their scope of practice: assessment and diagnosis of client health/illness status; ordering and receiving results of screening and diagnostic tests; prescribing drugs; and performing minor surgical and invasive procedures. 8
10 Saskatchewan Amendments to the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Act were proclaimed on May 1, 2003, to include NPs. These amendments now allow those licensed as a registered nurse (nurse practitioner) (RN[NP]) to: order, perform, receive and interpret reports of screening and diagnostic tests that are designated in the bylaws; prescribe and dispense drugs in accordance with the bylaws; perform minor surgical and invasive procedures that are designated in the bylaws; and diagnose and treat common medical disorders. Alberta In 1996, Alberta s Public Health Act was created with a section entitled extended health services. In 1999, the province s Nursing Profession Act Extended Practice Roster Regulation provided for the capacity to regulate RNs extended practice (EP) on a separate (subset) roster through the professional association, the Alberta Association of Registered Nurses (AARN). In 2002, the Public Health Act, Nurse Practitioner Regulation added the words nurse practitioner and described what NPs can do. On November 30, 2005, the Registered Nurse Profession was proclaimed under the Health Professions Act (2000) and the Registered Nurse Profession Regulations (2005) came into effect. The Health Professions Act (HPA) does not focus on exclusive scopes of practice but instead focuses on restricted activities that may be performed by regulated members of a profession, provided the member has the competence to perform the restricted activity. The Registered Nurse Profession Regulations, 2005, section 15, specify that a regulated member on the nurse practitioner register may, within the practice of registered nursing, perform the restricted activities outlined for registered nurses and the following additional restricted activities when practising as a nurse practitioner: prescribe a Schedule 1 drug within the meaning of the Pharmaceutical Profession Act (excludes narcotics and controlled substances); prescribe parenteral nutrition; prescribe blood products; order and apply any form of ionizing radiation in medical radiography; order any form of ionizing radiation in nuclear medicine; order non-ionizing radiation in magnetic resonance imaging; 9
11 British Columbia Under the Health Professions Act, Nurse (Registered) and Nurse Practitioner Regulation were enacted and have been in effect since August 19, order or apply non-ionizing radiation in ultrasound imaging, including any application of ultrasound to a fetus; prescribe diagnostic imaging contrast agents; and prescribe radiopharmaceuticals, radio-labelled substances, radioactive gases and radioaerosols Under the Health Professions Act, NPs are subject to the standards, limits and conditions set by the College of Registered Nurses of B.C. to: make and communicate diagnoses identifying disease, disorder or condition; apply X-ray for diagnostic or imaging purposes, except CT; order X-ray and CT and ultrasound; prescribe drugs (specified in Schedule I or II of the Drug Schedules Regulation, B.C.); and set and cast closed simple fractures or reduce dislocated joint. Yukon In the Yukon Territory, the Registered Nurses Profession Act of 1992 has broad language to cover the work of RNs in both conventional and expanded roles. Separate regulation of NPs has not yet been introduced, and currently title protection exists only for RNs. RNs working in rural and remote areas work according to the policies of the employer in regards to diagnosing and prescribing. 10
12 N.W.T. & Nunavut The Nursing Profession Act of the Northwest Territories and amendments to the Nunavut Nursing Profession Act were proclaimed January 1, Language to include NPs was established through subsequent amendments to the Pharmacy Act and the Public Health Act, and an amendment is also planned for the Hospitals Act regulations. The Nursing Profession Act (Northwest Territories) allows NPs to do the following: make a diagnosis identifying a disease, disorder or condition; communicate a diagnosis to a patient; order and interpret screening and diagnostic tests; prescribe a drug (as prescribed in regulation or a practice protocol issued to him or her); and perform other procedures that are authorized in guidelines approved by the minister.
