Common questions

Writing a licensed practical nurse resume.

The care setting, the size of the assignment, and where your scope ends. Open Licensed Practical Nurse roles on the board right now: 1,145.

Scope is the difference, so a Licensed Practical Nurse resume should be explicit about the patients carried independently and the point at which the registered nurse is brought in.

It does. Both the title and the regulator differ across provinces, so name the college that registered you as a Licensed Practical Nurse, especially when applying in British Columbia.
