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.
