Virginia Colored Practical Nurse Association:"On April 21, 1947 a group of African American licensed practical nurses met at Hood Temple Methodist Church in Richmond to establish the Virginia Colored Practical Nurses Association (VCPNA). The first president was Edwina Barnett of Norfolk. The organization was a constituent of the National Association of Practical Nurse Education until the National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses (NFLPN) was organized in 1949. The VCPNA met jointly with the Licensed Practical Nurses Association of Virginia (LPNAV) at the Hotel Roanoke in 1971. The delegates voted unanimously to merge the two organizations to form the Virginia Licensed Practical Nurse Association (VLPNA)."

The organization of NPs in Virginia began a quarter century ago in the regional or local areas of the state. With the growth in the number of NPs throughout the state, Virginia NPs initially organized to become a Professional Practice Group of the VNA. In 1984, the VCNP became a council of the VNA, and as such has continued to grow in membership and in the services provided to its members. Membership now is over 1,300. Although there are other specialty NP groups, the VCNP offers an advantage for all NPs in Virginia because of its association with the VNA and the American Nurses Association (ANA) with their broad based membership and the resources available through these relationships.
