Welcome to the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of British Columbia (CLPNBC) and our online Continuing Competence Management System for the College's Continuing Competence Program (CCP). CLPNBC registrants please login to access the various components of this website.  

The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of British Columbia (CLPNBC) has developed a comprehensive BC Entry- Level Competency Profile for Licensed Practical Nurses in British Columbia. This Competency Profile document is a detailed and specific description of the knowledge, skills, behaviours, critical thinking and clinical judgments inherent in the practice of the profession.

Competence is the ability of a nurse to integrate the professional attributes required to perform in a given role, situation, or practice setting. Professional attributes include, but are not limited to, knowledge, skill, judgment, attitude, values and beliefs. The Competency Profile is the foundational component for the CLPNBC Continuing Competence Program. This Program is a system of assessing, maintaining and monitoring the ongoing competencies of the profession. It is a way of ensuring a high level of expertise, competence and ethics are maintained in performing the role of the LPN.

The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of BC is developing and implementing a responsible, accountable and formal means of assessing and reporting on the continuing competence of their registrants. This includes establishing and maintaining a Continuing Competence Program and reporting to major health care stakeholders on the competence level of its registrants.

This British Columbia License Practical Nurse Competency Management System (BCLPNcms) was developed and implemented to assist LPNs in British Columbia comply with requirements of the CLPNBC Continuing Competence Program. Using this website and their CLPNBC registrant userid, LPNs can complete their annual self assessments and learning plans online. Additional information and resources are provided so that this process can be done easily and effectively.
