Continuing Education
Courses for LPNs
Overview
The Advanced Education in Orthopaedics for LPNs program allows LPNs to expand their scope of practice by learning special orthopaedic procedures.
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) continuing education courses can be applied to your continuing competency profile. These are self-paced distance education courses. You can register at any time and you will have six months to complete each course. A certificate of completion is awarded for each course successfully completed.
Custom-Designed Workshops
We will custom-design a workshop for groups of eight or more LPNs to meet your needs. Courses can be presented at NorQuest College, utilizing our labs and classrooms, or on-site in your community. These workshops will focus on the skills and topics important to LPNs at your facility.
