Renewing your permit with the CRNA

If you are an RN/NP in Alberta, the renewal period for your practice permit with CRNA opened July 26. Follow these steps to guide you through the renewal process or use our step-by-step infographic. (You can download and print the graphic to put on your unit for easy reference!)

As an AAN member, you save $20 on CNPS Professional Liability Protection (PLP)!

 

Steps to renew

1. Purchase or renew AAN membership

  • Renew at albertanursing.ca/renewals.
    • Not a member yet? Go to albertanursing.ca and click “Join Now” on the top bar of the screen.
  • Enter your CRNA permit number in your AAN profile as it appears in College Connect.
  • Write down your AAN number.
    • Find your number on your receipt or by clicking ‘My Account,’ ‘My Profile,’ then ‘User Info.’

See our FAQs for help https://albertanursing.ca/faq/ or email [email protected].

2. Renew CNPS PLP

  • Create a MyCNPS account at my.cnps.ca/s/login/SelfRegister.
  • Did you register for CNPS PLP in 2022? Use the same email you used to register with the CNPS in 2022.
  • Click ‘Register or Renew’ and follow the instructions. 

Troubleshooting

  • I put my AAN number into MyCNPS portal and got an error message: “Association Check Failed.” Why am I getting this error?
    • Ensure your AAN number is entered correctly into the MyCNPS portal.
    • Ensure yourAAN membership is renewed for 2024.
    • Ensure your AAN membership type is Active Standard Membership and not a Student Membership or Retired Membership. If your membership is a Student or Retired membership and is already renewed for 2024, contact [email protected] to change to an Active Membership.
    • In your AAN account, ensure the Primary Nursing Designation is listed as Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner. Ensure CRNA is listed as the licensing college and that your CRNA license number is correct.
    • If you have multiple designations, make sure your RN designation is listed as the primary designation. (For example, if you hold an LPN and RN designation and have both listed on your profile, make sure the RN license is listed first as your primary designation).

Troubleshooting

  • What if I am a new grad and don’t have a CRNA license number and/or I am not an RN yet but will be this coming year?
    • Purchase an AAN Active Membership.
    • Put “Registered Nurse” as your primary designation.
    • In CRNA College Connect, under My Profile you will find your 6-digit number that will become your CRNA number. Put this number into your AAN profile.
