In this review of literature published since January 1st, 2013, that included RPNs and/or their similar categories nationally and globally, a total of 18 articles were found to focus on RPNs, 150 on LPNs ( Canadian and non-Canadian), 149 on ENs, 2 on ANs and 16 on ADNs. This review focuses heavily on the results of the 18 studies that included RPNs and summarizes the research studies from LPNs, ENs, ANs and ADNs more briefly. RPNs were consistently the least represented in the included studies and were rarely the sole focus of a research study (i.e., only three studies included RPNs as the sole participants). Five research topic themes were identified in the RPN literature: Nursing Roles, Geriatric Nursing, Nurse Turnover and Retention, Mental Health Nursing and Diabetes.
