Suspension date
April 10, 2008, is the suspension date for College members who have not paid their annual membership renewal fee for the current year. An updated list of suspended members will be posted at www.cno.org/for/employers on this date.
Individuals whose names appear on this list are no longer eligible to practise nursing in Ontario. These individuals are required to reinstate their memberships if they plan to continue working as nurses in Ontario on or after April 10.
The best way to check if your nursing staff have valid registration with the College is to ask to see their original and current Annual Payment Cards. Employers with a high number of nurses on staff can also use the College’s Automated Annual Verification of Renewal (AAVR) system to check the status of the nurses’ registration. For more information on suspension, reinstatement and the AAVR, visit the Registration and Employer sections of the College’s website.
