Membership to what? It sounds like they want to know if you're currently working as a nurse.

In order to help we might need more details. Trying to renew your membership where? Are you a practicing nurse? That is what it sounds like it is asking you.

Specializes in OR, Nursing Professional Development.

Perhaps OP is referring to RPNAO | or another Canadian nursing organization? If so, it would be best to reach out to them if you are unsure of how to answer. My assumption would be that it means you are working as a nurse. I see similar questions when renewing my specialty organization memberships, with regards to the specialty.

As you're an RPN I'm going to assume you're renewing your CNO membership. Practicing in some capacity means are you currently working as an RPN in Ontario. That $305 hurts.

That's cheap!

We're up to $350 in Alberta.

$305 or $350 it's a ridiculous amount of money just to work.

But we get a quarterly magazine, and the thrill of getting audited every five years!

Sarcasm fully intended!

Seems to get too expensive for everybody to work as a nurse nowadays

Damn they give you guys professional with your license fee? We have to pay extra. But the magazine is just lovely.

THey have to give us something! They rarely communicate by actual letter anymore. Want us to get magazine in the online format because it's more eco friendly and they'd save on postage!

There is no chance I'd look at the online magazine.
