Preface: For more than a
year, NAPNES Council of Practical Nurse Educators,
consultants, Board of Directors, executive staff
and key stakeholders have been working to develop
several sets of national standards. It has
been more than 11 years since the national accrediting
body for LP/VN programs has updated their standards.
Additionally, the standards were allowed to go
out of print and are currently unavailable.
NAPNES Board of Directors and COPNE put all stakeholders
on notice that moving forward, NAPNES would once
again assume the responsibility for development
of national PN Education standards, curricula
standards, and standards for PN Educators.
The 2007 COPNE Workshop will be
one of the most important meetings and workshops
for PN Educators in many years. This program
was presented in June 2006 in Newport News, VA.
More than 75 educators from nine states attended
with extremely positive feedback.

This very interactive workshop will
produce historic outcomes for Practical Nursing
Education and Educators for years to come.
Participants will be presented with information
from one of the most extensive nursing education
research projects ever conducted. Then the
day will build on that information with the production
of three to four sets of national standards.
Attendees will participate in the development
of those standards during small group break-out
sessions and a round-table meeting. The
final standards will be presented to NAPNES Board
of Directors for recommendation to approve before
the entire NAPNES membership body.
Lunch is included for participants
of this full-day workshop.
Scheduled for 6.5 contact hours
