CARNA office closure, operations continue virtually

Effective Friday, March 20, 2020 the Edmonton office of the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) is closed to walk-in visitors without appointments as part of ‘social distancing’.

CARNA has implemented this measure to minimize the risk of transmission and ensure the continuity of critical services.

CARNA remains open for business with staff available by email or phone during regular business hours. Please refer to our Contact Us page for details.

Hearing Tribunals and other business functions as appropriate will be conducted virtually.

Former registrants who wish to assist with the COVID-19 pandemic are asked to contact their previous employer, the Talent Acquisition & Recognition team of Covenant Health at careers@covenanthealth.ca or AHS at careers@ahs.ca to inform them of their availability. Employers will send a list of names to CARNA and we will reach out to those who are identified on the Alberta Health or the health care provider organizations list to begin the process of reinstating practice permits for the pandemic response. If you are contacted by CARNA you will be required to complete an application and meet all eligibility requirements before being assessed. In the meantime, please ensure that your contact information is updated in your MyCARNA profile.
