The Registered Nurse Diagnosing and Prescribing certificate program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) seeking to advance their knowledge and practice in diagnosing and prescription writing. This certification guides learners through the theory of prescribing certain medications as set out by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), types of patient assessments and follow ups.
Upon successful completion of the theory courses, students will proceed to the clinical placement, which consists of 150 hours over 6 to 12 weeks.
Academic Partnership
As of December 2023, the new Registered Nurse Diagnosing & Prescribing at Humber College is approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario (www.cno.org). RNs who successfully complete Council approved RN-prescribing education will have information added to their registrant profile on CNO’s public Register, Find a Nurse, to communicate their authority to prescribe medications and communicate diagnoses for the purpose of prescribing specified in regulation.
