The Alberta Association of Nurses (AAN) is a professional organization in Alberta, Canada, created by nurses for nurses. It aims to unify the voice of all nursing professionals in the province, focusing on advocacy and professional development rather than collective bargaining or regulatory oversight. The AAN represents various nursing disciplines, including licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses.
The mission of the AAN is to advocate for nurses and promote quality health service delivery for Albertans. It engages in activities such as advocating for beneficial policies, supporting ongoing education, and addressing health-related issues stemming from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Governed by a Board of Directors that includes representatives from each nursing designation, the AAN ensures diverse perspectives in its decision-making processes.
