Frequently Asked Questions:

• what about a cap?
  There are no more nursing caps. Your best bet is asking your classmates if anyone has an extra (I still have 2).

  Here's the page on the Calgary Health Region website for transcripts. There is a PDF application form to download and an address to send it to.
  
  
• what about replacing my diplomas?
  I went through my old papers when this question came up and I have 3: one from the School of Nursing, one from The U of C and The Foothills Provincial General Hospital, and one from the AARN. For duplicates, you could try CARNA or the CRHA, and let me know what happens.
  
  
• what's the deal with the newsletter?
  

1. September - class reps send email questionnaire to active members, and regular mail to those without email (can be done earlier if you wish, with an email reminder in Sept)
   • include your return mailing address and ask that cheques to FNAA be post-dated to Oct 1
   • to make it easy to cut and paste the information into the newsletter, put the questionnaire in the body of the email and ask them to reply - do not send as an attachment, or they will just print it out
   • ask for:
     • class:
     • name and maiden name:
