Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

 

LPNs serve individuals, families, and groups, assessing their needs and providing care and treatments as appropriate. They work collaboratively with other members of the healthcare team. LPNs contribute to Alberta’s healthcare system through a wide range of practice areas including acute care, seniors’ health and wellness, long term care, community, primary care clinics, education, occupational health and safety, public health, and leadership (CLPNA).

Required Education

Requirements to enter practice as a LPN are a two-year diploma and a minimum of:

  • 750 hours of theoretical instruction
  • 900 hours of clinical / lab experience

Regulatory Body

LPNs are registered and regulated by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta. The College requires LPNs to pass a Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam within their first year of work.

Opportunities for Further Education

LPNs could study to become a RN.

The Post-LPN Bachelor of Nursing program at Athabasca University helps you segue from a LPN to RN eligibility. It’s a 120-credit degree – 30 credits for LPN coursework and 90 credits for course work (some credits may be awarded for other previous coursework). Some students can receive up to 45 transfer credits towards their course work, depending on their prior education.
