Licensed Practical Nurses - Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers

Licensed
Practical
Nurses
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are healthcare professionals who primarily work
alongside nurses and doctors. LPNs have the necessary skills and autonomy
to participate in the assessment of a person’s state of health and in carrying out
of a care plan. They also provide nursing and medical care and treatment to maintain
or restore health and prevent illness, and provide palliative care.
There are more than 23,000 Licensed Practical Nurses
working in Quebec
They work primarily in university hospital centres and health and social services centres (CSSS), as well as in hospitals,
residential and long-term care centers and local community health centres (CLSC). They also work in private homes, medical
clinics, research labs, pharmacies and nursing agencies.
The workweek for LPNs is normally 36.25 hours and their schedule is variable (days, evenings and nights). In the public sector,
pay depends on seniority and is established under collective labour agreements.
Specialized training program
OIIAQ admission conditions
The LPN professional training program runs for a total of
1,800 hours and leads to the awarding of a vocational studies
diploma (DEP) by the ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir
et du Sport du Québec (MELS).
Prospective OIIAQ members must successfully complete the
Health, Assistance and Nursing Care program and must hold
a vocational studies diploma (DEP) issued by the MELS
or a diploma recognized as equivalent by the executive
committee of the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers auxiliaires
du Québec (OIIAQ).
Offered in vocational training centres and a private school,
the Healthcare, Assistance and Nursing training program
focuses exclusively on the acquisition of theoretical and
practical nursing care knowledge, enabling LPNs to play
a key role in patient care. To be admitted into the training
program, you must meet the requirements established
by the MELS.
The OIIAQ’s disciplinary council is responsible for
sanctioning any members who violate the Code of Ethics or
any laws or regulations governing LPNs’ professional practice.
In addition, the OIIAQ’s professional inspection committee
oversees members’ skills. Established under the Professional
Code, this mandatory committee provides general oversight of
LPNs’ professional practice.
Licensed Practical Nurses:
members of a professional order
Respecting people and ensuring
quality of care are LPNs’ core priorities
LPNs are represented by a professional order.
Every day, LPNs provide nursing care to the population of Quebec.
The OIIAQ seeks to protect
the public while overseeing
its members’ professional
practice.
In accordance with Quebec’s Professional Code, the OIIAQ
fulfils its mandate in various ways.
Under provincial regulations (Règlement sur le comité de la
formation de la profession d’infirmière auxiliaire), the OIIAQ’s
committee on training is mandated with examining questions
relating to the quality of LPNs’ training in accordance with the
respective and complementary skills defined by the OIIAQ,
secondary schools and the MELS. In particular, the training
committee ensures that the LPN training program meets the
requirements of the healthcare network and adequately
prepares prospective LPNs for professional practice.
