Overview

Who completes the jurisprudence learning module?

All RNs and RN(NP)s complete foundational modules when they first apply for registration with the College. All practicing RNs and RN(NP)s need to complete an online module every year as part of the continuing competency program (CCP) requirements for registration renewal.

Log in to your CRNM Profile and complete the jurisprudence learning module.

What is Lessonly?

Our modules are built in Lessonly, a cloud-based learning system that allows you to complete modules in short lessons. When you log in to complete a module, you’ll see the “Learner’s Guide to Lessonly” module – feel free to complete it if you want to learn more about how to navigate through a module.

How do I access the modules?

  1. Log in to your CRNM Profile
    • For information on how to login to your Alinity profile, see the user guide here.
  2. Once you are logged in, see the information on how to access the jurisprudence module here.

How do I know which modules I have completed?

Log in to your CRNM Profile and check under the “Jurisprudence” heading. The modules you have completed will show the original completion date beside them.

*In October 2018, our Self-Regulation module was replaced by the Intro to RHPA module. This means the Intro to RHPA module will only be visible on your profile listing if you were previously required to complete it. 

What do I have to do?

  • If you are reinstating for 2023, complete the module titled “2022 Scope in your practice”
  • To renew your certificate of practice for 2024, you must complete the 2023 jurisprudence module, Health Equity and Cultural Humility.
  • When you first apply for registration with the College, complete “Intro to RHPA”, “Ethics in Practice”, 2022 Scope in Your Practice” and “Reserved Acts in Practice”.

Have you completed Health Equity and Cultural Humility?

Please provide your feedback for the Health Equity and Cultural Humility jurisprudence module.  Your feedback is important so that we can continually improve our learning modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to understand jurisprudence?

We want to ensure you have an understanding of the law and standards that relate to your registered nursing practice. Increased awareness will help you practise within the boundaries of the law and ultimately lead to greater client safety.

Who has to complete the jurisprudence learning modules?

All RNs and RN(NP)s complete foundational modules when they first apply for registration with the College. All practicing RNs and RN(NP)s need to complete an online module every year as part of the continuing competency program (CCP) requirements for registration renewal.

How long will it take to complete the modules?

Modules are divided into short lessons. Each module takes between one and two hours to complete.

Do I have to complete the entire module at one time?

No. You can log in and out of the module and it will pick up where you left off. Remember to click the “Finish” button at the end of each lesson and at the end of each module.

Can I complete the modules with colleagues?

Yes. You are welcome to complete the modules with colleagues to promote discussion and increased awareness. However, in order for you to receive credit for completing the module, each of you will need to log in separately to submit responses to the practice scenarios.

Do I need my own email address?

Yes. Your email address is linked to your CRNM Profile and lets us know which modules you have completed. This means you need to use an email address that you don’t share with anyone else.

Will I be tested on my knowledge?

All of our modules will ask you questions based on practice scenarios. In some modules, you can review explanations under the discussion tab after selecting your answer so you can fully understand the scenario. There is also a section on your CCP forms where you can take notes on what you have learned if you wish.

Can I re-do the module to get a better score?

You can re-do the module as many times as you would like; however, your original score is the only score the database will log. At this time the College is looking for completion data, not performance data.

What do I do if my CRNM Profile doesn’t show a module as complete?

In your CRNM Profile, the date you first completed a module will be written beside the title of the module.

*In October 2018, our Self-Regulation module was replaced by the Intro to RHPA module. This means the Intro to RHPA module will only be visible on your profile listing if you were previously required to complete it. If the date isn’t appearing after you’ve completed a module, please review the following:

1. Make sure you completed all questions and clicked the “Finish” button at the end of each lesson and at the end of the module.

2. Use Google Chrome as your web browser. Click here to download this free browser.

3. Try completing the module using a different computer or mobile device.

What do I do if the module is not working?

Try using a different web browser, computer or device. Sometimes poor internet connections or firewalls can impact your ability to view the module, so using a different computer or viewing the module in a different geographical location may do the trick.
