New Workforce Survey Requirement for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNS)

Chapter 702 of the Laws of 2021 requires licensees in certain health professions to complete a Workforce Survey when they renew their professional license registration. Effective November 1, 2023, all LPNs must complete a Workforce Survey when they apply to renew their LPN registration. Any LPN who renews their registration prior to November 1, 2023 will not be required to complete the Workforce Survey for that registration period.
