Our role includes: Establishing standards for practical nursing education programs in Manitoba to ensure LPNs entering the profession have the knowledge, judgment and skills they need for their roles. Granting licences to Manitoba’s practical nurses, which includes evaluating each application for initial or renewed registration against the criteria for the profession. Establishing professional standards and guidelines so that Manitobans can expect professional, competent, compassionate, ethical, and safe care from LPNs. Overseeing the practice and conduct of practical nurses in Manitoba, which includes receiving and investigating complaints, and if necessary, taking action to protect the public. Please note: the CLPNM is not an educational institution.
