RN Authorized Prescribers (RN-AP) in Continuing Care Practice Settings

What is an RN-AP?

The Registered Authorized Prescriber (RNAP) is a registered nurse with advanced education and practice that allows them to prescribe within their own pre-defined practice setting.

RN APs working within the Continuing Care sector support NS residents living in long-term care (LTC) or being cared for in the community (i.e. home care or clinic setting) in receiving more timely access to appropriate care.

The CoP is a virtual forum for RNAPs to learn, collaborate and promote best practices, serving to support high quality care provision across the Seniors and Long-Term Care Sector.
