Our 2025 Annual Report is here!
We are pleased to share NSCN’s Annual Report highlighting our regulatory priorities, progress and impact as Nova Scotia’s nursing regulator in 2025.
Our 2025 Annual Report highlights how we fulfilled our mandate of protecting the public last year. Focused around our three strategic objectives, the report demonstrates how we prioritized our efforts in 2025 to deliver transparent, effective and accountable regulation. Watch our video from CEO & Registrar, Doug Bungay as he walks through the highlights of the report.
We recognize our achievements would not be possible without the contributions of others, including the over 24,000 nurses across Nova Scotia. We thank the public, nurses, and health care system partners across the province for their ongoing commitment and support.
