Message from the President of AFLPN:
"I would like to encourage all LPNs to get involved in your professional organization,
so that we can keep representatives on the Board of Nursing to ensure our issues
are addressed and we have input in decisions that are made about our practice."
Louisiana Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses presented a workshop on November 18, 2011, on Preparing for Your NCLEX-PN Exam. There were 22 instructors in attendance, most of whom took part in panel-type presentations; there were 182 students representing the PN programs of nine schools throughout the state.
Our annual convention will be held April 26-28, 2012 in Alexandria at the Alexandria Convention Center downtown corner Jackson and Fourth Streets. The theme will be Nursing the Geriatric Patient. We expect to have five speakers who will speak from their expertise on five different aspects of gerontology. We invite all LPNs and PN students of LA to make plans now to attend.
More details will be posted after our January 2012 Planning Meeting.
We have recently regrouped the state constituency and sure could use your support. If you are a member of NFLPN under the NY constituency and would like to be involved in our growing efforts to support your LPN needs, please contact us at nysalpn@gmail.com. Let us know how you would like to be involved!

At Large members are NFLPN members that reside in states without a state level association. We receive many inquiries about developing state level associations under NFLPN but rarely find a group of LPNs that are able to follow through with the task of beginning a chapter.
Several LPNs/LVNs have expressed interest in a Nevada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and California.
We need volunteers to bring a group together, establish board members, and create the state chapter bylaws and charter. Additionally, volunteers are needed to support and lift up the organization and recruit new members as well as provide support to existing members.
If you are that special volunteer, please contact the NFLPN President, Missy Moore at Ottamissiah@yahoo.com or the NFLPN Membership Chair, JoAnn Shaw at jslpn@sbcglobal.net. They will guide you through the procedures of establishing your state association.
We work hard to support LPN/LVNs across the nation but our association is only as strong and as our membership and our collective efforts!
