The two options are displayed below as a reminder.
If you chose the wrong option by mistake, do not complete your renewal. Just simply scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Withdraw.” The incorrect option will be removed and you can start again!
Input Requested on the Revised Standards of Practice
We need your help. The Canadian Council of Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) recently updated its Standards of Practice for Licensed Practical Nurses in Canada. These standards are authoritative statements that define the legal and professional expectations of the licensed practical nurse practice. We are asking for your input about CCPNR’s updated Standards of Practice by giving you the opportunity to respond to the Licensed Practical Nurse Standards of Practice Survey. The survey is designed to validate the updated standards. Please click here for more information, access to the survey, and the revised Standards of Practice. No CEP hours will be approved for participating in this review.
