Throughout the program, learning involves both classroom and laboratory activities, as well as instructor and preceptor supervised clinical experiences. Classes and laboratory experiences are provided at the Brooks Campus, however, you will be required to travel to other parts of the region for clinical and practical learning experiences. Graduates of the program are eligible for licensure through the College of Licensed Practical Nurses upon payment of a fee and successfully passing the national practical nurse examination (Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam or CPNRE).
LPNs are one of three categories of professional nurses in Alberta and continue to excel as front-line nurses involved in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of nursing care. As a Practical Nurse, you will utilize the nursing process, which includes providing health assessments that consider physical, social, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of clients. You will work with clients, families, and other members of the health care team to develop a plan of care that will best meet the client’s needs. You will also assist the client with activities of daily living, carry out prescribed procedures and treatments, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment for the client.
LPNs are professional nurses and work within their own scope of practice, standards of practice and code of ethics. You will study from the same body of nursing knowledge as registered nurses (RNs) and registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) with a more focused approach in foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and clinical judgment to suit the LPNs role of today. As an LPN, you will have the knowledge, skill, judgment, and abilities to contribute in all phases of the continuum of care from prevention to acute treatment and management, to long term and palliative care. You may have independent, interdependent, and often overlapping roles on the health care team.
