Learning Goals for 2022

As we prepare to enter into the new year, now is the time to start thinking about what learning goals you would like to accomplish for 2022.  By setting your goals early, you have a full year to accomplish them. 

Every LPN in New Brunswick must comply with the annual Continuing Competence Program (CCP) in order to remain actively registered in good standing.  LPNs will complete their self-assessment, using the CCP Self-Assessment Tool, to review their Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.  Once you complete your self-assessment, you will have a better idea of what learning goals you should be aiming for.

There are several documents and tools available to guide you through this process. Please click the links to get you on the right track for CCP!

Sign up for PAD for 2022-23 Renewal

Are you tired of the lump sum payment at the time of registration renewal? Is your employer no longer participating in payroll deduction?  You may want to consider signing up for Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) for your 2023 renewal fees!  Currently we have over 5% of our membership who are taking part in this service and these numbers are growing!

Please review the following information regarding PAD:

• If you are already signed up – you do not need to do anything. Debit withdrawals will restart January 15/22
• If you are currently not signed up and want to take part, you can do so at anytime!  Login to your ANBLPN account and on the left menu bar select "Sign Up for PAD"
• Once you click "sign up", a screen will appear to enter in your banking information.  Enter your Bank #, Branch # and Account #.  **Please ensure you have your correct banking information - if you are unsure please request this from your banking institution. If your account has "O's" at the beginning, you must enter them
• If you sign up after January 14th, 2022 you may have a balance owing as of October 1st, 2022 and you will then just need to pay the difference when you submit your registration renewal form on-line.
• You can cancel your PAD subscription at any time - login to your ANBLPN account and your PAD subscription is on the left.  
• Monthly payments of $36.12 will be withdrawn from your account on the 15th of each month starting January 15th, 2022 and the last payment will be September 15th, 2022 for the 2022-23 licensing year.
• When renewal opens for 2022-23, you will complete your renewal application and your money will be automatically applied to your approved registration. 

That's all there is for you to do!
