At the completion of the Registration Renewal process, practicing members will receive an Active Practice Permit authorizing them to use the title “LPN” and work as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Alberta.
Working as a LPN without a valid Practice Permit constitutes unprofessional conduct and violation will subject the individual to disciplinary action. Members holding an Associate Permit are not permitted to practice nursing as a LPN.
