The LPN carries valuable knowledge with their existing training; here the focus is to expand on the scope of practice, knowledge, and skills of the LPN as they transition to the professional role within nursing. Emphasis is placed on health promotion through the lifespan and incorporates theories related to evidence-based practice, quality and safety, communication, collaboration, clinical decision-making/reasoning, informatics, assessment, caring, and health-illness continuum. Learning modalities vary but include case studies, discussion, research, and written assignments.
