Did you ever wonder if Licensed Practical Nurses had a National Association?
Answer: Yes, LPN’s across Canada had establised a National Association in 1974. It was originally called “ Canadian Practical Nurses Association (CPNA)” then it changed it’s name in 2006 to “ Practical Nurses Canada (PN Canada)” .
LPNABC has been a member since it was establised in 1974. We remain one of the existing members and recently have been working with the other member Registered Practical Nurses Association in Ontario (RPNAO) to reorganize and establish as we have a great need for a national voice as well as provincial.
