LPNs and PN Educators in Virginia, we have individuals who would like to create a state chapter of affiliated with NAPNES. As many of you are aware, Virginia like many other states has moved to restrict LPN practice. This restriction was done without evidence to support the decision. A state association can help to educate regulators, legislators, communities, and their professional colleagues. If you are interested in participating in a Virginia state association, please email NAPNES by clicking here. In your email, please indicate if you would be interested in serving as a state or regional officer / leadership position. Your profession needs you! Please volunteer today to give back to the profession. |
