Feedback Needed on Standards and Guidelines

The CRNA regularly asks for input from the public as it develops and revises the standards and guidelines to ensure they are evidence informed and align with best practice.

The CRNA is seeking feedback on the draft scope of practice and standard of practice referenced below. They are intended to: 

• update the existing scope of practice document for nurse practitioners (NPs)
• update an existing draft standard of practice for registered nurses (RNs) and NPs
• provide direction that is clear, concise and which outlines what the public can expect from registrants in providing safe, competent and ethical care

The deadline to provide feedback for each of the following draft documents is Dec. 3, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. MT.

Before any new or revised standard of practice takes effect, they must be approved by the CRNA's Council. If you have questions, please contact standards@nurses.ab.ca.
