  • Regulatory Body
    The Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador (ARNNL) is the regulatory body for nursing in Newfoundland and Labrador.  Its mission is to strive for excellence in nursing, public protection, quality health care, and healthy public policy.

    Three principles guide the Association as it strives to protect the public (1) promoting good nursing practice, (2) preventing poor nursing practice, and (3) intervening when nursing practice is unacceptable. Services and functions are focused on the following program areas:

    • Setting the education requirements for entry to the nursing profession;
    • Setting criteria for initial registration and annual licensure as a Registered Nurse;
    • Setting standards for nursing practice and advanced nursing practice;
    • Setting standards for continuing education;
    • Advocating for quality health care in the public's interest;
    • Promoting Healthy Public Policy; Communications; and finally,
    • Governance of the Association

    The Registered Nurses Act requires that anyone seeking employment in Newfoundland and Labrador as a Registered Nurse be licensed with ARNNL.

  • Health System
    Canada's publicly funded health care system is best described as an interlocking set of ten provincial and three territorial health insurance plans. Known to Canadians as "medicare", the system provides access to universal, comprehensive coverage for medically necessary hospital and physician services. Under the health care system, individual citizens are provided preventative care and medical treatments from primary care physicians as well as access to hospitals, dental surgery and additional medical services. With a few exceptions, all citizens qualify for health coverage regardless of medical history, personal income, or standard of living.

    The federal government, the ten provinces, and the three territories have key roles to play in the health care system in Canada. Health Canada's mandate is to help Canadians maintain and improve their health. Among other activities, Health Canada's responsibilities for health care include setting and administering national principles for the health care system through the Canada Health Act and delivering health care services to specific groups (e.g., First Nations and Inuit).

    Working in partnership with provinces and territories, Health Canada also supports the health care system through initiatives in areas such as health human resources planning, adoption of new technologies and primary health care delivery.
