The designation RN(EP) refers to a registered nurse who is on the extended practice register of the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba. RN(EP) may also be referred to as an extended practice registered nurse, a registered nurse(extended practice) or a nurse practitioner. This designation signifies that the RN has completed advanced education (or has substantially equivalent education and experience), and has passed an approved examination demonstrating extended practice competencies. Only an RN registered on the extended practice register can use the title Registered Nurse (Extended Practice), Nurse Practitioner, or the abbreviations RN(EP), NP, or any derivative.
