About NAPNES
The Board of Directors of the NAPNES recognizes the necessity for all that workers in the field of practical/vocational nursing (LP/VN) — both practitioners and educators — to continually develop their professional knowledge and skills throughout their careers. The newly licensed or certified professional can reasonably be expected to demonstrate beginning competence in his/her role so that to have a foundation for further growth; but, true expertise requires subsequent learning. The requirement for the continuous learning is necessary because the rate of new knowledge formation in the health and education science is increasing rapidly; and the rate of technological capabilities for applying this knowledge is developing rapidly as well. That's NAPNES.
