Your Input Matters: Help Update Entry-Level Nursing Competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses and for Registered Nurses in Canada
The Canadian Council of Practical Nurse Regulators (CCPNR) and the Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (CCRNR) are working together to update their respective entry-level competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) across Canada. This collaboration will result in two documents: the updated entry-level competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses and the updated entry-level competencies for Registered Nurses.
Entry-level competencies reflect the knowledge, skills, critical thinking and judgement expected of an entry-level licensed practical nurse and registered nurse to provide safe, competent and ethical care.
We invite you to share your insights by completing a short survey that will inform the update of the entry-level competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses and for Registered Nurses in Canada. Your responses will guide the steering committees in identifying what’s working well, where gaps exist, and what changes are needed to reflect current and emerging realities in nursing and health care.
Survey Details:
- Takes approximately 15 minutes to complete
- Includes a save and continue option
- Can be completed in English or French
- Responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate form
The survey link was sent via email on July 16, 2025 to currently licensed LPNs and RNs. The deadline to participate is August 15, 2025 at 5:00pm EST.
Thank you for your valuable contribution in this important initiative for the CCPNR and CCRNR.
