This will do it for you,

    checkNickname: function(nickname, password){
        var reNick = new RegExp("/^" + nickname + ".*/", "i"),
            rePass = new RegExp("/^" + password + ".*/", "i");
        getProfile.find({ 
                    nickname: { $not: reNick },  
                    password: { $not: rePass }
            }, function(err, data) {
            console.log(data)
        });
    }

As mention you can't have $regex as argument to $ne but you can negate your regex.

checkNickname: function(nickname, password){
    var reNick = RegExp("^((?!"+nickname+").)*$", "i");
    var rePass = new RegExp("^((?!"+password+").)*$", "i");
    getProfile.find( { nickname: reNick, password: rePass }, function(err, data) {
        console.log(data)
    });
};

find function takes two arguments, first is always err so it must be `function(err, data) { if(err) throw err; console.log(data) });` – Hakan Kose Nov 12 '15 at 20:20
With `data` as second argument I get now a array but its empty I think that means no match is found. – I NA Nov 12 '15 at 20:25
Yes that is what it means – styvane Nov 12 '15 at 20:27
