I have been an LPN in Alberta for almost 10 years, prior to that I practiced in Manitoba. Albertan's, I have found, really need to be educated with what exactly LPNs roles are and I never let an opportunity pass when it presents itself to educate my patients and their families about LPNs. I do, however work with some LPNs who almost seem embarrassed or ashamed to be LPNs (they don't wear their designation). I just don't understand this thinking. I come from a province where LPNs are valued and our College was very active. I am so happy to see Alberta is finally waking up. Way to go!! Bravo!
