Practising Licensure to Non-Practising Certification

Non-Practising certificates are available to members whom are still eligible to practice as an LPN, but are currently on a leave or planning a leave from practice.  Examples of common leave types are:

  • Maternity / Paternity Leave
  • Disability
  • Illness
  • Education
  • Worker’s Compensation

Benefits of changing to a non-practising certificate include:

  • NO Continuing Education Portfolio (CEP) hour requirement for the duration of time you are registered as non-practising
  • Registration remains in good standing

See the SALPN Fee Schedule for the current non-practising certificate fee.

To access the online form, please log into your member portal.

If an LPN on leave does not initiate a change in status from Practising to Non-Practising, the annual renewal requirements, such as 24 CEP hours, remain mandatory. For members who change their status to Non-Practising, CEP hours are calculated at the pro-rated rate for next Practising renewal

The Continuing Education Portfolio (CEP) hours are based on the amount of time practicing licensure is held and begin at the time the practicing status change occurs. Pro-rated CEP requirements may apply, please see the chart for details:
