In August 2019, the Canadian Council for Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) released the Entry-Level Competencies (ELC) for LPNs. ELCs are the expected competencies for entry-level LPN practice across Canada. The competencies describe the knowledge, skill, judgement and attitude required of beginning practitioners to provide safe, competent and ethical nursing care. This document is the foundation for curriculum development of PN education and also serves as a guide for public and employer awareness of the practice expectations of the entry-level practical nurse.
The CLPNNL has adopted this document for use in Newfoundland and Labrador beginning in 2022. The ELCs will be incorporated into the development of the national nurse registration exam in 2022.
