Alberta Nurses for Change was established to unite nurses and amplify our collective voice.

We are currently advocating for the province to make nasal naloxone (Narcan) the standard formulation available for overdose response programs, emergency responders, and public distribution across Alberta.

We previously were advocating for registered nurses to be included in presumptive legislation coverage for psychological injuries. As a result of an agreement reached in collective bargaining by United Nurses of Alberta, the provincial cabinet has extended presumptive coverage for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other traumatic mental health injuries to Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses, Graduate nurses, and undergraduate nurses.

The amendment to the Workers’ Compensation Act Regulation was made through an Order-in-Council brought to cabinet by Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration Joseph Schow on July 23, 2025.
