1 Introduction

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is the regulatory body for nurses in Ontario, Canada. Our purpose is to protect the public by promoting safe nursing practice.

This appendix contains statistics about nurses who renewed their registration for the first time in CNO’s General Class and Extended Class between 2020 and 2025. Tracking trends in how and where new registrations practice over time provides valuable information for health human resource planning and decision-making. Because nurses do not submit detailed data upon registration, we can only understand employment patterns of newly registered nurses once they have renewed for the first time. To return to the College of Nurses of Ontario Nursing Statistics Report 2025, please visit: https://cno.org/Assets/CNO/Documents/Statistics/latest-reports/nursing-statistics-report-2025.pdf

CNO continually enhances its reports based on stakeholder feedback. To find out more about CNO’s statistical resources or to sign up for its statistics announcements, please visit www.cno.org/stats.

2 Methods and Notes

2.1 Reporting and renewal period

This appendix presents renewal and employment statistics of the nurses who were eligible to renew their registrations in 2025 for the first-time in a particular category and class and compares it with the first-time renewal cohorts from 2020 to 2024. A first-time renewal cohort is a group of nurses who initially registered with CNO for the first time in a given year in a particular category and class and were required to renew their certificate of registration in order to continue to practice the following year.

Initial registration year is the year in which a nurse first registered with CNO in a particular category and class.

First-time renewal is a registrant’s first renewal after successfully registering in a specific category and class. For example, 2024 is the first renewal year for a nurse who initially registered in 2023.

The annual data presented in this appendix is based on first-time renewal year, not initial registration year.

During the renewal process, nurses may also resign. If they do not resign or renew their registration at renewal time, their registration will expire. Additionally, if a registrant renews into another class, it is considered a change in class.

The three main categories for non-renewals are:

  • Change in class: when a registrant joins a different class upon renewal, for example, going from RN General to RN Extended or RN Non-Practising or changes to Non-Practising
  • Expired: when a registrant fails to renew their registration in their current category
  • Resigned: when a registrant resigns from their current category

The focus of this appendix is on nurses who renewed their registration for the first time in the General and Extended Classes. While nurses may hold registration in more than one category (RN or RPN) at the same time, they cannot be in multiple classes in the same category. For example, a nurse may hold both RN General and RPN General registration but cannot be in the RN General and Extended classes (NP) at the same time. Those who hold both RN and RPN registrations are considered dual RN/RPNs.

In this appendix, data is reported by registration. If a nurse renewed for the first time as both an RN and RPN, they will be counted separately, once as an RN and once as an RPN. Though CNO categorizes nurses based on their category and class, for simplicity, this appendix will present data by the following nurse types:

  • RN: Registered Nurse in the General Class
  • RPN: Registered Practical Nurse in the General Class
  • NP: Registered Nurse in the Extended Class

2.2 Other statistics

Several demographic and employment characteristics and statistics are examined in the appendix and are listed below:

  • Employment status categorizes registrants or registrations based on different combinations of employment, such as employed in nursing only, employed in non-nursing, not employed, on leave, and whether the employment is in or outside of Ontario.
  • Number of working positions is the total number of employment positions held per certificate of registration.
  • Working status indicates whether an employment position held is full-time, part-time, or casual.
  • Overall working status indicates whether the combination of employment positions held is full-time, part-time, per certificate of registration. A detailed definition can be found here: Overall Working Status.
  • Employment setting is the practice setting associated with a held employment position and reflects the immediate practice environment.
  • Employment position is the role associated with a held employment position and reflects broad job titles or position names.
  • Area of practice is the focused practice area associated with a held employment position and reflects the type of care delivered and/or patient population.


4 Employment Positions Held in Ontario

This section provides data at the level of employment positions held. Only nursing positions held in Ontario for nurses on their first renewal are included. Since nurses can hold multiple positions, the number of positions is greater than the total number new registrations categorized as employed in nursing in Ontario.

4.1 Working Status for Employment Positions

Working status for employment positions (full-time, part-time, or casual) is a statistic that provides information about the working status of each nursing employment position held by registrants. Unlike overall working status, it does not aggregate working status to the registration level, but instead reports it at the position level. For example, for an RN holding two part-time positions, both positions would be counted under “Part-time employment”.
