Protect the Public

Excellence in nursing regulation for the health of all Albertans.

Protect the Public

As a regulator, the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA) plays an important role in patient safety and protecting the public. Our role is to serve the public interest by ensuring ethical, safe and competent care by our registrants. 

We do that by: 

  • Setting standards registrants must meet in their practices. 
  • Providing a way for the public to report conduct that does not meet the standards set for registrants.  
  • Providing additional support related to complaints about sexual abuse or sexual misconduct. 
  • Ensuring we promote a respectful workplace and expecting our registrants to do the same. 
Our Regulatory Philosophy

The CRNA exists to protect the public under the Health Professions Act (HPA) and we are proud to accomplish this using a Right-touch relational regulatory approach.
Standards for RNs and NPs

Complaints and Feedback

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
