Certain basic skills and abilities are required to practise as an LPN in Canada. The requisite skills and abilities provide the public and practitioners with information about the nature of the activities that licensed practical nurses must be able to perform and the general demands of practical nursing education and practice. The Canadian Council for Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) developed this policy document to identify the desired and achievable level of requisite skills and abilities expected of LPNs, while also serving as direction in the development of policies and procedures in the practice environment. NSCN as part of CCPNR has adopted this policy document in Nova Scotia.
