NSCN Board Nominations & Election Update
The NSCN Board typically typically holds an annual nominations and election process to fill registrant Board member vacancies for terms beginning June 1.
This year, June 1 coincides with the anticipated migration to the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) and amalgamation with the Midwifery Regulatory Council of Nova Scotia (MRCNS).
Under the circumstances, the NSCN Board will assess potential registrant Board member vacancies in spring 2026. Stay tuned for more information in the months ahead!
