Pap Smear collection is a reserved act that is included under Registered Nursing. The College of Registered Nursing Manitoba (CRNM) requires that additional training be provided for some of the reserved acts, including Pap Smear collection.
In complying with the above section / article (CPE), CHCA Nurses working in Manitoba must take the Cervix Check Manitoba’s training and obtain a provider number.
The provider number identifies the person collecting the specimen and also allows the provider to access annual reports on their pap smears (e.g. Adequacy of sample; within guideline recommendations, etc.).
Once you obtain your provider number, please send it to Angeline Goldsworthy at
