Professional and Peer Communities

This section describes professional and peer communities where licensed practical nurses share experiences and discuss clinical topics. Moderated forums hosted by associations provide safe spaces for discussing scope of practice, workplace challenges, and career development. State association listservs offer updates on regulatory changes and continuing education opportunities. Social platforms allow LPNs to connect with peers, ask questions, and share resources.

Major Discussion Platforms

This section provides examples of major discussion platforms used by LPNs. Society hosted communities offer structured discussions, mentorship opportunities, and announcements about continuing education. Moderated forums provide practical advice on clinical tasks, documentation, and workplace communication. These platforms help LPNs stay informed and connected to the broader nursing community.

Safe Forum Use

This section explains how to use forums safely and responsibly. LPNs must avoid sharing patient identifiers and follow facility policies on confidentiality. Clinical advice from forums should be verified against primary sources such as state board rules or facility policies. Forums can be used to find study partners, mentors, and professional support while maintaining professionalism and patient privacy.
