CCP Journey
CCP
Every year, all registered nurses and nurse practitioners in Manitoba participate in the Continuing Competency Program (CCP)—a legislated requirement designed to support excellence in nursing practice.
The CCP is more than a requirement—it’s a comprehensive, self-directed learning framework that helps you:
- Maintain professional standards
- Enhance your practice
- Strengthen your knowledge and skills
- Deliver safe, competent, and ethical care
Take Charge of Your Learning
Your CCP journey is about empowerment. It gives you the opportunity to:
- Reflect on your practice
- Choose learning that’s meaningful to you
- Build critical thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills
Whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned expert, the CCP helps you grow with purpose and confidence.

The information below will guide you through:
- How the CCP works
- What’s expected each year
- What to do if you’re selected for the CCP Review
💡 Tip: Use the tools and resources provided to make your learning plan focused, relevant, and impactful.
Jurisprudence
Each year, all registered nurses in Manitoba are required to complete the Jurisprudence learning module. This essential component of the Continuing Competency Program ensures you understand the laws, regulations, and standards that guide your nursing practice.
By staying informed, you’ll be better equipped to:
- Practice confidently within legal and ethical boundaries
- Make informed decisions
- Promote greater client safety
What Happens When There Are No Legislative Updates?
Even when there are no new laws to report, learning doesn’t stop. The Jurisprudence team partners with the Quality Practice team to:
- Analyze recent consultation trends
- Identify recurring themes or emerging issues
- Develop focused learning modules based on real-world practice insights
These targeted modules support your ongoing professional development and help you stay current with evolving practice realities.
💡 Tip: Completing the Jurisprudence module annually is not just a requirement—it’s a smart way to stay sharp, safe, and informed.
The CCP Forms
Each year, nurses are required to complete updated CCP forms, which include two key components:
- Part A – Self-Assessment
- Part B – Personalized Learning Plan
The CCP Forms webpage is here to guide you through each section with:
- Clear step-by-step instructions
- Helpful tips to support your reflection and planning
- Resources to help you complete the forms with confidence and clarity
💡 Tip: Take your time with each part—this is your opportunity to reflect, grow, and shape your professional development.

Completing an annual learning plan is a key part of maintaining excellence in nursing practice. It’s not just a requirement—it’s a meaningful opportunity to grow, reflect, and stay current in a constantly evolving healthcare environment.
Supports Safe, Competent, and Ethical Care
- By identifying learning goals each year, nurses ensure their knowledge and skills align with current standards, best practices, and client needs.
Encourages Self-Reflection

The CCP Review
Each year, a selection of registered nurses and nurse practitioners in Manitoba are chosen to participate in the Continuing Competency Program (CCP) Review. This process is more than a regulatory requirement—it’s a vital part of ensuring safe, ethical, and competent nursing care across the province.
Demonstrates Accountability to the Public
- The CCP Review assures the public that nurses are committed to maintaining and improving their professional competence. It reinforces trust in the nursing profession by showing that nurses are actively engaged in lifelong learning and reflective practice
Promotes Continuous Professional Growth
- Through the review, nurses share their learning plans and participate in multi-source feedback (MSF). This feedback provides valuable insights into how their professional behavior and communication are experienced by colleagues and clients, supporting deeper self-awareness and growth
Encourages Reflective Practice
- The review process encourages nurses to reflect on their practice in relation to the Practice Expectations. This reflection helps identify strengths and areas for development, guiding meaningful learning goals and improved care delivery
Supports a Culture of Quality and Safety
- By participating in the CCP Review, nurses contribute to a culture of quality improvement and client safety. The process helps ensure that nursing care in Manitoba continues to meet high standards of excellence.
The CCP Review webpage is your go-to resource for understanding the review process. It offers clear guidance, helpful tools, and up-to-date information to support you every step of the way.
💡 Did you know? Even if you’re not selected for the review, completing your annual CCP forms and learning plan is still required—and it’s a great way to stay proactive in your professional development.
