CLPNA adopts National Standards, Code of Ethics, more

Posted on: June 03, 2013 by CLPNA

In a major step designed to increase harmonization for the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) profession in Canada, the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) adopted four new national nursing practice and policy documents to supersede or work in conjunction with their provincial equivalents on June 3.

The new Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics, Entry to Practice Competency Statement, and Requisite Skills and Abilities are the result of a significant two-year Inter-Jurisdictional LPN Project (IJLPN) by the Canadian Council of Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR). It’s expected that most LPN regulatory organizations in Canada will also adopt the new policy documents.

For Alberta’s LPNs, practical nurse educators, employers and stakeholders, the new documents provide overall guidelines and describe the required level of performance against which actual practice can be measured.

“It’s the responsibility of individual LPNs to understand the new national Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics,” says Linda Stanger, CLPNA Executive Director, “as they will be held accountable to it.”    (more…)
