Registration #{{RegistrationNumber}}

Hello {{RegistrantFirstName}},

In follow up to your RN application with the CRNA, you have selected to meet the currency of practice requirement by practicing as a Registered Nurse where you are actively registered.

To facilitate this process the following steps will be taken:

• Application Withdrawal: Your RN application with the CRNA with be withdrawn.  This means your application for Registered Nurse licensure in Alberta will not be processed at this time.
• Permit Fee Conversion: The permit fee you paid will be converted into a pre-payment/credit on your file.  The fee you submitted as part of your application will be kept on your account and can be used for future purposes, such as when you reapply for RN licensure.
  • Liability Protection: You are advised to contact CNPS (Canadian Nurses Protective Society) regarding your liability protection fees.

You can complete the BCN at Mount Royal University, MacEwan University, Keyano College or Bride to Canadian Nursing - Bow Valley College.

Please contact the schools for intake information.

If you are unsuccessful in completing the BCN, you may no longer be eligible for RN registration in Alberta.

Once you have successfully completed the BCN you can reapply for RN licensure:

• Reapplication for RN Licensure: Once you have met the currency requirement, log into your College Connect account and submit the application for RN licensure.

If you require more assistance, please contact us at casemanagement@nurses.ab.ca. Ensure you include your CRNA registration number with all email correspondence.
