Modules to Support Nursing Competence
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in Alberta can access more than 30 free learning modules through their MyCLHA accounts.
These modules, hosted on our Learning Management System, help build LPN competencies and are suitable for meeting the requirements of the Continuing Competence Program.
After finishing a module, LPNs can complete a survey to share knowledge about their experience. Feedback from surveys helps the CLHA understand how our modules impact LPN practice. Your feedback helps us improve our resources and choose topics for future learning.
