Introduction
Manitoba's three nursing regulatory colleges -- the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba (CLPNM), the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (CRNM), and the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba (CRPNM) - are seeking your input. As the regulators for LPNs, RNs, NPs and RPNs in the province, we regulate to professional standards and provide interpretation of those standards to help registrants meet them.
We are seeking your feedback on a draft practice guidance resource titled Gender-Affirming Nursing Care. The objective of the document is to provide guidance to registrants related to client-centred care and preserving the dignity of all clients. The goal is to provide information that will assist nurses to meet the standards and code of ethics/ethical conduct of their profession.
The document is intended as a principle-based guidance document. As such, it does not establish specific policies or provide detailed how-to instructions. Your feedback will assist in decisions about whether additional guidance for nurses might be beneficial in the future.
Your Response
Your feedback is appreciated and will help identify areas of the document to consider refining before it is finalized. All responses will be reviewed and considered; it may not be possible to incorporate all feedback and suggested changes.
Please review the document in full before responding. The draft is accessible here. After reviewing the document, this survey will take you approximately 5 minutes to complete. Please respond by February 27, 2026.
This survey may be completed anonymously. If you are interested in participating in a focus group, please provide your name and contact information at the end of the survey so we can reach you.
Your survey response will be collected and stored by SurveyMonkey.com, and will be accessed and reviewed by the three nursing colleges for the purposes identified above. To view SurveyMonkey's Security Statement, click here. To view SurveyMonkey's Privacy Notice, click here.
