Reminder: CLPNA Office Closure

The CLPNA office will be closed December 25 and 26 and January 1 for the holidays. We highly recommend that LPNs complete their Registration Renewal before our closures.

REGISTRANT SURVEY

In September all LPNs were invited to participate in the 2023 CLPNA Registrant Survey. The survey was designed to help the CLPNA understand how changes in the health system may be impacting LPNs and the care they provide. Included were questions to help assess LPN practice environment, self-reported health, and perspectives on being a regulated health professional.

We greatly appreciate all who completed the survey. Thank you for your time and for sharing your thoughts.

In the coming months, the CLPNA will be looking closely at the survey responses to better understand the perceptions and insights of LPNs. We will share more of what we heard in 2024.

Again, thank you for your feedback and for the important work you do as LPNs.

Jeanne Weis, CEO & Registrar
