Improving the Quality of Licensed Practical Nursing Education

Improving Quality in Education

The Council of Practical Nurse Programs of New York State provides a medium for exchange of information between various stakeholders, provides updates on current trends and regulation changes, staff development opportunities, and promotes the career ladder for practical nurses.

We offer a forum for Practical Nursing educators to exchange ideas and information.  We do this through interaction via our website forum, classes & events held periodically throughout the year, and through our annual conference in Albany, NY.

For students we offer information to help become better acquainted with educational & career opportunities in New York State & beyond.  Through our website you can locate local LPN schools as well as get information on how to get on an LPN career path.

🌸 Happy Mother's Day to All Nurses! 🌸
Today, we celebrate not only the mothers among us but also the incredible nurses who embody the essence of motherhood in their daily roles. Whether you are a biological mother, a mother figure, or someone who has yet to experience motherhood, your nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication make a profound impact on countless lives.
Nurses, regardless of their specialty, often find themselves in the role of a caregiver, a mentor, and a source of comfort. You provide the compassion, support, and strength that define the term "Mother." Your ability to care for others, to heal, and to offer solace in times of need is a testament to the nurturing qualities that make you extraordinary.
On this special day, we honor and thank you for your tireless efforts and the love you bring to your profession. Your contributions to the well-being of others are invaluable, and your role as a caregiver is deeply appreciated.
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing nurses who make a difference every day! πŸ’–

Celebrating Nurses Week & Teachers Appreciation Week.

This week, we honor the incredible contributions of both nurses and teachers.

These professions may seem different, but they share a common goal: shaping the future and saving lives

Nurses wear many hats, including that of an educator, guiding patients and families with compassion and knowledge.

Similarly, teachers advocate for their students, showing empathy and dedication every day. Both roles require advocacy, compassion, and empathy, making them vital to our communities.

Many, reap the benefits of both worlds, experiencing firsthand the life-saving impact of nurses and the transformative power of teachers.

Though many are not there for the pay…. We hope and pray that one day, their salaries will reflect their immense value and dedication.
