Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs) form the largest single group of regulated professionals in Canada who provide mental health services. Their expertise and interest are specific in the areas of mental, social and developmental health and disorders. Registered psychiatric nurses are actively involved in assessing needs, developing coping skills, and planning, implementing and evaluating programs to meet the needs of clients affected by mental illness, psychiatric disorders, developmental and/or cognitive difficulties.
