In Canada, the regulation of health professions falls to provincial jurisdictions. Provincial legislation allows health professionals to self-regulate through provincial regulatory organizations, therefore the scope of practice and the role of a health professional can vary from province to province. Although each province has jurisdictional regulatory authority, national collaboration occurs between the provincial regulatory organizations to help align policy, procedures, and standards. No standard approach has been established for reviewing and approving practical nurse education programs, despite the fact that labor mobility laws in Canada allow licensed practical nurses transferability between provinces. This article presents the results of a jurisdictional scan of the Canadian practical nurse regulators’ education program review standards. Overall, the results revealed two major areas of alignment: the language and operational definitions of the program approval processes, and a common set of educational program standards.
