Standards of nursing practice are specific not to a province, but rather to the profession itself.
The Canadian Nurses Association is not responsible for licensure.
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to maintain current nursing skills, knowledge, and theory through continuing education offerings.
