Enrolled Nurse Professional Association
Enrolled Nurse Professional Association
The Enrolled Nurse Professional Association (ENPA) was formed in August 1994 at Ashfield NSW by the enthusiasm of 4 enrolled nurses after the Inaugural State Conference for Enrolled Nurses (Ultimo 1993) identified a need for an association to be formed to pursue the professional, career and educational interests of this group of nurses. From this first basis a strong association evolved to meet the needs of members and colleagues in NSW and across Australia.

Registered nurse
Registered nurse
A Registered Nurse (RN), is a health care professional responsible for implementing the practice of nursing through the use of the nursing process in conjunction with other health care professionals. Registered nurses work as patient advocates for the care and recovery of the sick and maintenance of their health. In their work as advocates for the patient, RNs use the nursing process to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care of the sick and injured. RN's have a significantly expanded scope of practice, education and clinical training compared to that of licensed practical nurses.

LPN
LPNs work in a variety of health care settings. They are often found working under the supervision of physicians in clinics and hospitals, or in private home health care. In long term care facilities, they sometimes supervise nursing assistants and orderlies.
The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are about 700,000 persons employed as licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses in the U.S.
LPNs must at least be high school graduates or have a GED. They follow the rules of State Boards of Nursing. Requirements for taking boards usually include a clean criminal record and graduation from an approved accredited practical nursing program.
The first practical/vocational nurse training occurred at the Young Women's Christian Association in New York City in 1892. The first official training was three months long, offered at the Ballard School in New York in 1893. Students studied homemaking as well as learning how to care for patients. Some states did not have a license for LPN/LVNs until 1955. Education and training, depending on state requirements, may be vocational-based, hospital-based, or college-based, and can vary from 9 month certificate programs to 3 years in time for certain specialties like pediatrics, surgery/anesthesia, or school nursing which usually require an associate degree in practical nursing.[1]
