Most people who take the days-long clinical competence assessment are found to need remedial education to be licensed in the province and the additional requirement prevented numerous people from returning to Man. Amid staffing shortages, the province’s health minister delivered a compliance order to the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba to remove its requirement that internationally-educated nurses already licensed in other jurisdictions in Canada be subject to further testing if they're trying to be accredited in Man. again. The college will comply with the order.
