Self-employed practice

Registered nurses (RNs) or nurse practitioners (NPs) may choose to  engage in a self-employed practice.

Nurses who meet the requirements to hold an active practice permit and are engaged in self-employed RN or NP practice can use these protected titles, count practice hours, and have CNPS professional liability protection.

RNs and NPs who are entitled to practice in Alberta can be found here.
