Saskatchewan nurses and midwives\r\n  <\/nav>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"eyebrow\">Saskatchewan &middot; College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h1>Remediation and reflection for Saskatchewan nurses and midwives<\/h1>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"meta\"><b>5 min read<\/b><span>Last updated 14 July 2026<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"lede\">Here is the leverage most nurses miss. The CRNS Investigation Committee refers a complaint to a public hearing only where the concern <strong>cannot be addressed by its other outcomes<\/strong> &mdash; and one of those outcomes is <em>requiring a continuing education or remediation programme<\/em>. Remediation is not merely mitigation in Saskatchewan. It is an off-ramp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"callout\">\r\n    <p><b>Start now, not after a finding: <\/b>the committee is deciding whether your concern can be dealt with short of a hearing. Evidence that you have already identified the failing, done the learning and changed your practice speaks directly to that test &mdash; and it is worth far more offered voluntarily than ordered. Keep CNPS and your union informed as you do it.<\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h2>Why remediation matters earlier here than elsewhere<\/h2>\r\n  <p>In many jurisdictions, remediation is something you bring to a penalty hearing to soften a sanction. In Saskatchewan it does that too &mdash; but it also does something more valuable, and earlier. The <strong>Investigation Committee<\/strong> refers a matter to the Discipline Committee only where it concludes the conduct <strong>cannot be addressed by the other outcomes available to it<\/strong>. Those outcomes expressly include <strong>requiring a specific continuing education or remediation programme<\/strong>, a voluntary agreement, or a caution.<\/p>\r\n  <p>So the question in front of the committee is not only &ldquo;did this happen?&rdquo; but &ldquo;can this be fixed without a public hearing?&rdquo; A nurse who arrives having already answered the second question &mdash; with dated, documented evidence &mdash; is arguing for the off-ramp rather than pleading after the fact.<\/p>\r\n  <p>The stakes of that difference are concrete: a referral means your <strong>charges are posted publicly on the CRNS website 30 days before<\/strong> anyone rules on them, at a hearing open to the public.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2>What penalty looks like if it goes to a hearing<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Where the Discipline Committee finds a nurse guilty of professional misconduct and\/or professional incompetence, a <strong>separate penalty hearing<\/strong> follows, at which both the Investigation Committee and the nurse make submissions. The orders available under The Registered Nurses Act, 1988 include:<\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>a <strong>reprimand<\/strong>;<\/li>\r\n    <li>a <strong>suspension<\/strong>;<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>conditions and restrictions<\/strong> on the nurse;<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>expulsion from the College<\/strong>;<\/li>\r\n    <li>a <strong>fine<\/strong> and\/or payment of the <strong>costs of the investigation and the discipline hearing<\/strong>; and<\/li>\r\n    <li>any other order the committee considers just.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n  <p>The costs order deserves attention. You may be ordered to pay for the investigation <em>and<\/em> the hearing that examined you &mdash; a bill that is frequently the most punishing part of the outcome, and one that grows the longer a contested matter runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2>Appeals<\/h2>\r\n  <p>A nurse who does not accept the Discipline Committee&rsquo;s written decision may appeal <strong>within 30 days<\/strong>, either to <strong>CRNS Council<\/strong> or to the <strong>Court of King&rsquo;s Bench<\/strong>. The window is short and it does not wait for you to decide how you feel about the decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2>What credible remediation actually contains<\/h2>\r\n  <h3>Insight<\/h3>\r\n  <p>A specific, unflinching account of what went wrong, why it went wrong, and what it reveals about your practice. Insight is not an apology and it is not agreeing with the College to seem agreeable &mdash; panels discount both instantly. Distinguish honestly between a <em>competence<\/em> gap (I did not know, or could not yet do, this) and a <em>conduct<\/em> failure (I knew, and did it anyway). Confusing the two is the most common way nurses undermine their own remediation.<\/p>\r\n  <h3>Reflection<\/h3>\r\n  <p>A written, dated record of that thinking, produced as you go rather than assembled the week before a hearing. Reflection that pre-dates the referral decision is worth considerably more than reflection that post-dates it.<\/p>\r\n  <h3>Remediation<\/h3>\r\n  <p>The actual change, with evidence: courses completed, supervision or mentorship arranged, a preceptorship undertaken, competencies re-demonstrated, systems and checks altered. Certificates and dates &mdash; not intentions.<\/p>\r\n  <h3>Assurance against repetition<\/h3>\r\n  <p>The safeguard that means it cannot happen again. The College exists to protect the public; give it a concrete reason to believe the risk is gone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2>Honesty is the one thing remediation cannot repair<\/h2>\r\n  <p>A clinical or competence failing is remediable, and regulators know it. A dishonesty finding &mdash; falsified records, a misleading account to an investigator, a concealed error &mdash; goes to whether you can be trusted at all, and no amount of coursework repairs it as readily. If something went wrong, the survivable path runs through candour, not around it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2>A realistic note on courses<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Be clear about what CPD can and cannot do. Where the Investigation Committee <em>requires<\/em> a specific education or remediation programme, the CRNS specifies it, and independent CPD does not substitute for that. What structured CPD <em>can<\/em> do is give you something to place before the committee now: a dated, documented body of work showing that you identified the failing, understood it, and acted on it before anyone compelled you to. That is the evidence the committee otherwise does not have &mdash; and it speaks directly to the test it must apply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <section class=\"kt\">\r\n    <h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\r\n    <ul>\r\n        <li>The Investigation Committee refers to a hearing only where a concern <strong>cannot be addressed by its other outcomes<\/strong> &mdash; one of which is <strong>requiring an education or remediation programme<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n        <li>Remediation in Saskatchewan is therefore an <strong>off-ramp<\/strong>, not just mitigation &mdash; and it is worth most when offered voluntarily and early.<\/li>\r\n        <li>If a matter is referred, the <strong>charges are published 30 days before<\/strong> a public hearing, so exposure precedes any finding.<\/li>\r\n        <li>Penalties include <strong>reprimand, suspension, conditions, expulsion, a fine and the costs<\/strong> of the investigation and hearing &mdash; costs are often the heaviest part.<\/li>\r\n        <li>Appeal lies to <strong>CRNS Council or the Court of King&rsquo;s Bench within 30 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n        <li>Credible remediation is <strong>insight, reflection, remediation and assurance against repetition<\/strong> &mdash; all dated and evidenced. <strong>Dishonesty is the one thing it cannot repair.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n  <\/section>\r\n\r\n  <section class=\"courses\">\r\n    <h2>Related CPD courses<\/h2>\r\n    <p class=\"sub\">Structured CPD you can complete and evidence while your matter is live.<\/p>\r\n      <a class=\"card\" href=\"https:\/\/healthcareethicscourses.com\/can\/courses\/remediation-for-fitness-to-practise\/\">\r\n        <span class=\"nm\">Remediation for Fitness to Practise<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"ds\">Building a remediation plan a regulator will accept &mdash; what to do, and how to evidence that you did it.<\/span>\r\n      <\/a>\r\n      <a class=\"card\" href=\"https:\/\/healthcareethicscourses.com\/can\/courses\/reflection-for-fitness-to-practise\/\">\r\n        <span class=\"nm\">Reflection for Fitness to Practise<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"ds\">Writing reflective statements that show genuine understanding rather than rehearsed contrition.<\/span>\r\n      <\/a>\r\n      <a class=\"card\" href=\"https:\/\/healthcareethicscourses.com\/can\/courses\/insight-for-fitness-to-practise\/\">\r\n        <span class=\"nm\">Insight for Fitness to Practise<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"ds\">The difference between apology and insight &mdash; and why panels can tell them apart immediately.<\/span>\r\n      <\/a>\r\n      <a class=\"card\" href=\"https:\/\/healthcareethicscourses.com\/can\/courses\/ensuring-no-repeat-of-misconduct-or-mistake-in-future-practice\/\">\r\n        <span class=\"nm\">Ensuring No Repeat of Misconduct or Mistake in Future Practice<\/span>\r\n        <span class=\"ds\">Designing the safeguards that demonstrate the same failure cannot recur.<\/span>\r\n      <\/a>\r\n    <p class=\"cav\">These are independent CPD courses.
