About NAPNES
NAPNES is the oldest association that advocates the
education and practice of practical and vocational nurses.
In fact, we are the organization that is responsible
for the legislation that provides for the licensure,
and education of practical nursing in the United States.
Founded in 1941 by Practical Nursing Educators, NAPNES
has grown to become a multi-disciplinary organization
that welcomes not only LP/VNs, but also RNs, MDs, Student
Practical Nurses, Practical Nursing Educators, Practical
Nursing Schools, agencies, organizations, lay community
and other individuals that are interested in promoting
the professional practice, and education of practical
nurses.
We are in the middle a preparing an outstanding historical
document that tells about our more than 64 years of
service to our membership. Be sure to check back here
in the near future for our complete story.
All the pages of this site make up the "About
NAPNES" story. Our services, our members, our board,
and much more. Please take a look around, and if you're
not already a member, let us strongly encourage that
you consider joining our organization.
Finally, you will find our contact information at the
bottom of this and every page on our website. We look
forward to hearing from you!
