Learning Nurse Resources Network is an online resource site focused on informal learning, continuing education, and professional development for nursing personnel. It is operated by Steppingstones Partnership Inc. in Edmonton, Canada. The site positions itself as an independent and safe resource for maintaining and improving nursing competencies, covering different levels of users including nursing students, nursing assistants, LPNs, RNs, RPNs, and nursing educators.
The site’s resources are divided into three main sections: Assessment, e-Learning, and Library. Assessment includes nursing apps, nursing games, nursing quizzes, personality diagnostic tests, and self-assessment forms. A key feature is instant feedback, making these tools useful for self-testing, review, or classroom interaction. The e-Learning section offers narrated online courses that can be accessed anytime and anywhere, as well as microlearning content on common nursing errors. The Library contains professional development articles, research reports, papers, and reference sources, leaning more toward information lookup and teaching support.
According to an announcement dated July 16, 2025, the site will permanently close on August 1, 2026. Before the closure, all educational resources have been reopened for free, with no registration, login, or payment required. The site states that users can download a Certificate after completing a quiz, but it also notes that certificate email delivery is still experiencing issues, so users are advised to download and save certificates themselves after finishing quizzes. The main text does not clarify whether these certificates count as formal credits, license renewal hours, or certification recognized by regulatory bodies.
Its strengths are that the resources are free, broad in coverage, and can be directly linked by educators in courses, programs, and LMS platforms. The organization behind it, Steppingstones, was founded in 1989 and has been involved in Canadian health professional continuing competence projects since 1998, giving it a strong industry background. The limitations are also clear: the site has a definite shutdown date, making long-term reliance risky; the certificate system has technical issues; information on formal accreditation and credits is insufficient; and the content is presented in English, with no Chinese support found.
It is better suited for nursing students doing self-study and review, working nurses supplementing their continuing education, and nursing educators looking for classroom quizzes and interactive materials. It may also serve as a temporary external resource link for institutions using an LMS. The main text does not provide information on access from mainland China, so it is not possible to determine whether the site can be accessed directly. In addition, because nursing standards and practice requirements vary by region, Chinese users should treat it as a resource for English-language learning and knowledge supplementation, rather than as a basis for local professional certification.
