Continuing Competence Program

Licensed Practical Nurses are required to demonstrate a commitment to continuing competence by meeting the requirements established in the Standards of Practice for LPNs on Continuing Competence and relevant policies.

The CLHA’s Continuing Competence Program (CCP) supports LPNs in achieving and demonstrating competence through the completion of continuing competence activities, which includes both learning and practice in the profession. By completing the annual requirements, the public can be assured LPNs are committed to competence through professional development.

Framework

The framework for the CCP includes a self-assessment, a learning plan, continuing competence activities, and an audit. All of this contributes to an LPN’s overall accountability to the profession.
