4worldlovers: Registrants are renewing their practice permits for the upcoming year. Renewal is open from July 26 to Sept. 30, 2023. During renewal, the CRNA ensures that registrants still meet all the requirements to practise.


Keep up to date on news related to nursing standards, initiatives and new developments happening in the regulatory profession.

The CRNA is making strategic changes to reduce barriers for internationally educated nurses (IENs) to receive permits to practice in Alberta. We are committed to helping strengthen health care in the province.

The CRNA exists to protect the public's health and welfare by assuring that safe and competent nursing care is provided by licensed nurses. Any person who has knowledge of misconduct by a registrant that may violate a nursing law or rule may file a complaint about the alleged violation here.

Tools are available for the public, employers and registrants to verify names in the register or if an individual has any disciplinary matters.

Use this tool to verify if a nurse is licensed with the CRNA or to check if they currently hold a valid permit to practice. Our online verification service enables you to confirm if a nurse is eligible to practice in Alberta.

Active nurses that have findings of professional misconduct will show up in the search tool. If you are looking for a decision of a former registrant, if can be found with our disciplinary decisions page. The decisions summaries page also includes current registrants.

Up until the end of 2021, we were known as the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta—CARNA, but strategic and legislated changes have required us to divest association activities and focus on a single regulatory mandate. Looking for information about the new Alberta nursing association? Contact info for the association can be found here.

The CRNA Council is comprised of sixteen members—eight public representatives and eight registrants. The governance structure ensures the Council's mandate is achieved through clear delegation of their authority to governance and regulatory committees, while ensuring to have equal numbers of public and registrant members where appropriate.

The College had a pivotal fiscal year. The annual report and financials released today showcase the work taken to effectively enhance the College's ability to regulate the profession in the public's interest.

4worldlovers: The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta exists to protect the public by regulating the profession of practical nursing.

We establish education and registration requirements, set and enforce standards of practice and conduct, ensure accountability and proficiency, and handle complaints and discipline. In all these ways, we ensure safe, high quality care for Albertans.

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are nursing professionals with a wide range of skills and an extensive scope of practice. They can be found in an increasingly broad range of healthcare settings beyond direct care including management, research and administration. Wherever LPNs work, they are compassionate, committed and collaborative.

4worldlovers: Assisting new Canadians by removing barriers to employment as they settle in Edmonton and surrounding communities.

The English for Nurses program was developed to prepare internationally educated nurses to pass the Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses (CELBAN) as well as to help them improve their use of English in their daily lives.

Since its inception, nurses from the Philippines, Africa and Easter Europe have benefited from the program, including one-on-one coaching, training materials and exam preparation. The program has an excellent track record of nurses passing the CELBAN exam.
