Feedback:
The purpose of NFLPN is to interpret the role and function of the LPN and LVN for the public to win greater understanding and appreciation of the contribution of practical/vocational nursing to the healthcare system. The NFLPN does not provide for international accreditation, nor does it legally represent the client's interests. However, it promotes postlicensure education and certification. The National League for Nursing (NLN) establishes standards of accreditation for nursing education for both RNs and LPNs.
