Purpose
The purpose of CLPNA's real-time Public Registry is to help employers and the public identify that a person providing nursing care in Albera is a Licensed Practical Nurse registered with CLPNA, and determine the nurse’s registration status. This information is not designed nor is it intended to be used for any other purpose.
Following the Health Professions Act (HPA) and the guidelines of the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), the Public Registry does not compromise personal information of our membership. Only the member's name, registration number, Practice Permit expiry date, specialties and restrictions appear.
Employer Verification of Registration
Employers and managers are encouraged to verify LPN registrations after the annual Registration Renewal deadline of December 1 to ensure their LPN employees are registered for the coming year and able to practice, as it is a serious offence to practice as an LPN without active registration.
HOW TO SEARCH
You may search the Public Registry using one or more of the following criteria: Last Name, First Name or Registration Number. A simple search using Registration Number or Last Name is usually the most successful. The more criteria you input, the more specific a search you will initiate.
If the LPN you are searching for does not appear in the results, try a simpler search such as ONLY Registration Number or ONLY Last Name.
