Today marks an exciting moment for our profession!
ANA's Membership Assembly has approved expanding membership eligibility to include Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), recognizing the essential role they play in patient care and the future of nursing.
At ANA-Illinois, we believe nursing is strongest when every voice is represented. We look forward to welcoming LPNs across Illinois into our community as we continue advocating for the nursing profession, advancing healthcare, and supporting nurses at every stage of their careers.
Together, we are building a stronger future for nursing.
