New Practice Advice Documents Now Available

December 19, 2025

The College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA) has published two new practice advice documents that have been developed in consultation with registrants and partners in Alberta's health care ecosystem.

Injectable Cosmetic Therapies: Practice Advice for Registered Nurses

The purpose of this document is to provide information and guidance for registrants who provide injectable cosmetic therapies as part of their nursing practice emphasizing professional responsibility and client safety.

Self-Employed Practice: Practice Advice for Registered Nurses

The purpose of this document is to provide regulatory practice direction to registrants engaged in self-employed practice in Alberta. This practice advice cannot capture every potential self-employed practice setting. Registrants must consider all CRNA standards of practice and advice documents in their specific practice context.

Practice Guidance

Registrants and the public may reach out to the CRNA at any time for practice guidance related to the standards of practice, including understanding the CRNA's standards of practice, their intent and what registrants are accountable for across different practice settings, at any time.
