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.

For questions, please contact CARNA at toll free 1.800.252.9392 or 780.451.0043:

  • For questions related to your self-employed practice ask to speak to a Policy and Practice Consultant at ext. 504 or email practice@nurses.ab.ca
  • For questions related to your self-employment and practice hours, ask to speak with a registration assistant at ext. 548 or email registration@nurses.ab.ca
