The Association response to a letter posted on the LPN Cafe Website (June 6th, 2012) regarding the recent CLPNBC AGM, and the passing of resolutions.
The Association has not been contacted for comment.
We would invite all LPNs to contact the Association and learn how we represent LPN Profession Practice at many forums such as Articulation Meetings about your education, regulatory meeting and ministry pertaining to LPN scope of practice. The Association is collaborating with other associations such as ARNBC, CNA, GNABC and many more to discuss collaborative nursing practice. LPNABC has been the official and legal advocacy body under the Society Act, since 1951.
The LPN Association abides by the CLPNBC Bylaws Section 36 (1), (2). The association submitted two resolutions 60 days in advance, which were sent to every LPN registrant in BC. The college adhered to the democratic process and a quorum was officially declared by the Parliamentarian at the CLPNBC AGM on May 23rd, 2012 and the official business was conducted.
The LPN Association agrees with the comment that LPNs need to become more involved in their profession and regulatory bodies. The Association was also anticipating a larger participation at the AGM. The registrants that were in attendance were engaged in a robust debate regarding the resolutions which was passed by a majority vote.
The LPN Association welcomes all LPNs as members regardless of any union affiliation. Our mandate is:
“LPNABC promotes professional excellence and life long learning with strength through a unified voice representing the LPNs of BC”
The current LPNABC Board is committed to LPN professional practice and excellence. The board is advocating for LPNs professional practice in our province. We are continuing the vision of the women that formed the LPNABC in 1951.
LPNABC presented two resolutions at the CLPNBC AGM. Please read the following resolutions that were passed and now at the CLPNBC Board for consideration.
