“It was great to be able to practice my skills on the dialysis unit
where I would be working and to begin to build good relationships with our
patients and their families, who we see regularly.”

How to Apply
- To sign up for the MNNC, you apply directly to the renal unit where you wish to work. Note: A minimum of one year of acute clinical care experience within the last three years is preferred.
- Once hired, you must successfully complete the Manitoba Nephrology Nursing Course Pre-Training Exam. The self-learning package can be used to prepare for the pre-training exam. This provides information about the renal program and supports your baseline knowledge of chronic kidney disease, its causes and complications. A minimum grade of 70% is required and successful completion of the exam is considered valid for a one-year period.
- If you already have nephrology training, or have worked in a renal unit in the last five years, apply for a nurse position.
