College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba

What College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba does

The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba (CLPNM) is the legislated regulatory body for Licensed Practical Nurses in the Province of Manitoba, Canada, established under The Licensed Practical Nurses Act. It is a nonprofit organization headquartered at 463 St. Anne's Road, Winnipeg, operating with approximately 6 staff and a mandate to regulate roughly 6,000+ LPNs, Graduate Practical Nurses, and Student Practical Nurses in the public interest. Its service portfolio spans five pillars: credential registration and renewal, practice standards and guidance, the Continuing Competence Program, complaints/investigation/discipline, and credential assessment for internationally educated nurses, all operated through the third-party Alinity online platform alongside a public register and a secure employer verification site.

CLPNM generates revenue from regulated, publicly disclosed fee schedules covering initial registration, annual renewal, endorsement applications for Canadian LPNs, credential assessments for internationally educated nurses, and verification-of-registration documents (processed within ten business days). Since December 1, 2023, annual renewal also mandates Canadian Nurses Protective Society Core Services registration, embedding a minimum $5 million professional liability protection into the renewal flow. The college is overseen by a Board comprising LPN and public representatives, has no parent company or outside investors, and is governed alongside the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba (CRNM) and the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba (CRPNM) under shared legislative modernization toward the Regulated Health Professions Act.

Recent strategic activity has focused on formalizing practice guidance in emerging or previously undefined areas, including Medical Assistance in Dying (updated April 2024), IV hydration and vitamin therapy (November 2024), Interprofessional Collaborative Care (December 2024, jointly with the University of Manitoba and ten other Manitoba colleges), PHIA compliance and social media ethics (March 2025, jointly with CRNM/CRPNM), Agency Nursing Practice (June 2025), and the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Practice (May 2026). Distribution is exclusively provincial; there is no international footprint or commercial GTM motion, and marketing is limited to website, monthly newsletter, and email communications.

These services operate through the unified Alinity online platform and are supported by practice guidance documents, committee oversight, and employer verification systems.
