Previously Registered in Alberta

This page describes the process for applicants who were formerly registered with the CLPNA.

If this does not describe you, please take our applicant quiz.

To apply for reinstatement, you will need to have previously obtained registration as an Alberta LPN and meet the requirements of the CLPNA’s Policy: Actively Engaged Requirements for Registration.

If you do not meet the requirements, please contact the CLPNA at registration@clpna.com.
