What can your Registered Nurse do?
The Registered Nursing (RN) designation is a protected designation and can only be used with the approval of the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA).
In the school setting the goal of the RN is to maintain or improve the health and well-being of the child or student by building relationships with them, the school team as well as, other health and social service providers such as Occupational Therapists(OT), Speech-Language Pathologists and Family School Liaison Workers to ensure that the student is able to participate fully in academic programming. A consent form will be signed between the parent and RN prior to the provision of services. The service is coordinated through the OT team in collaboration with consultants and school teams.
