Alberta Health Services is hiring Registered Nurses in Calgary right now, and one of its current postings closes on 13 November 2026. If you are a registered nurse looking to work in Canada, this is a live opening worth your attention today, not a vague promise of future hiring. The posting is for a Registered Nurse in the Ambulatory Specialty unit at Rockyview General Hospital, Calgary's second largest tertiary care site, and it is listed on the Alberta Health Services careers page with the pay, the requirements, and the closing date stated plainly.

Hospitals across Alberta hire through the year, and Alberta Health Services is the province's single health authority, so its careers page carries new nursing roles almost every day. This post looks at one current role in detail — what the employer asks for, what it pays, and how to apply — and you can search the same careers page for other nursing roles if this one does not fit you.

About Alberta Health Services

Alberta Health Services, known as AHS, is the health authority for the whole province of Alberta. It runs hospitals, clinics, continuing care, and community health services from Calgary and Edmonton to small towns across the north, with roles in emergency, surgery, intensive care, home care, mental health, and cancer care.

Rockyview General Hospital, where this role is based, is Calgary's second largest tertiary care site. Its Ambulatory Specialty clinics see patients who come in for treatment and go home the same day. For a nurse who likes variety without the night-shift intensity of an emergency department, ambulatory care is a good middle ground. This posting is a regular part-time role at 0.63 FTE, working day shifts, with Saturday and Sunday off.

What the job involves

As a Registered Nurse in this role, you provide a wide variety of nursing services to patients, families, and communities, while taking the steps needed to keep them safe. In an ambulatory clinic, a typical day includes assessing patients before and after procedures, giving medications and treatments, teaching patients and families what to expect, and keeping careful records.

You work as part of a team, and the nurse is often the person who notices when a patient is worried, in pain, or not recovering as expected. Good nurses ask questions, listen properly, and speak up when something does not look right. The posting is for the Respiratory Clinic within Ambulatory Specialty, where the work includes support and case management for a complex adult patient population, and telephone support for patients and their families.

Requirements

The posting states the requirements clearly. You need to have completed an accredited nursing education program, and you need to be active or eligible for registration and a practice permit with the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA). You also need current Basic Cardiac Life Support — Health Care Provider (BCLS-HCP) certification.

The posting also asks for a baccalaureate degree in nursing, a minimum of two years of critical care experience in the last six years, and a minimum of two years of experience in ambulatory clinics in the last four years. Experience in pulmonary medicine is required, along with case management skills, comprehensive patient assessment and triage, and Connect Care (Epic) experience. A Certified Respiratory Educator credential is preferred, not required.

If you trained outside Canada, take the registration step seriously. You cannot work as a Registered Nurse in Alberta without the CRNA permit, and getting it takes time. Start that process before you apply for jobs, not after.

For readers outside Canada, one honest point: this posting does not state that the employer will sponsor a visa, and it does not promise immigration support. Canada has work-permit routes for nurses, but this post does not invent a visa promise — check the current immigration rules and the posting itself before you assume sponsorship is there.

Salary and benefits

The posting states the pay as $44.56 to $60.98 per hour for a Registered Nurse, and $40.76 to $55.79 per hour for provisional permit holders. Those are the employer's own figures, and the only pay figures in this post. The posting does not state a signing bonus or a relocation package, so this post does not claim one.

How to apply

Apply only through the Alberta Health Services careers page, using the link above. The posting number is ALB00589705, and the posting end date is 13 November 2026. Read the full posting before you apply, prepare your registration documents and your BCLS-HCP certificate, and submit your application through the careers page. If this posting has closed by the time you read this, search the same careers page for other Registered Nurse roles — new ones are posted regularly, and the same pay band and registration requirements apply to most of them.
