Nichole Eglian LPN is the founder of the NFLPN Student Honor Society. The recognition will include a special certificate to be forwarded from the NFLPN Central Office in Garner, North Carolina and a listing in the "Honor Society Achievement Award" section in the quarterly publication. An attractive lapel pin will be included with the certificate. Student membership in the NFLPN is required in order for students to receive these awards.

In addition to recognizing the students who achieve this level, the Practical Nurse Educator will also receive a certificate of recognition and her/his name will be listed in the NFLPN publication along with the students name, school, city/state.

We will need your help! Please forward to the NFLPN offices, to address and fax listed on this letterhead, a list of your 3.0 and B achievers, following completion of their second semester. You may then present their award during graduation or other appropriate time of your choice.

As you are aware, membership in the professional association representing your chosen profession is a great value and an excellent way to continue to keep informed about nursing information and health care issues. Thank you for encouraging your students to become involved by belonging to their professional association! A membership application is enclosed with this mailing, and both you and your students may join NFLPN today.

NFLPN offers two certification programs for LPN/LVNs in IV Therapy and Gerontology. Keith Brown with Educational Resources, Inc., is the administrator of these programs and may be reached at 1-800-292-2273 for further information.

Please take a moment to share this information with your PN students, and call our national office at (919) 779-0046 or e-mail cbarbour@mgmt4u.com with questions.

Cordially,

Irene Bruns, LPN
