CRPNA Head Office is closed to the public,
but remains open for business with staff available by email or by phone during regular business hours.
CRPNA is closely monitoring the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and hope that you, your family and your community are safe and healthy and remain so.
As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta (CRPNA) has taken steps to minimize the risk of transmission while ensuring the continuity of essential services. The CRPNA Head Office is taking precautions to protect the health and safety of our employees, registrants and the public and has moved all services remotely and online. We are prepared for remote operations with no business interruption, this transition is seamless and services we provide to our registrants and the public will continue.
The CRPNA remains open for business with staff available by email or by phone during regular business hours. The CRPNA anticipates minimal disruption of services, however if there is a need to increase our pandemic response, resources may be re-allocated and non-essential work may be delayed.
Registration renewal is not anticipated to be impacted, our staff are available by email or by phone to assist in any registration renewal issues or questions you may have. The CRPNA will continue to monitor updates from Alberta Health and Government closely to ensure that the appropriate measures are in place for our registrants, employers and the public.
