J'ai un doute maintenant que "infirmier auxiliaire" n'existe pas en France, mais que ce qui rapproche le plus de LPN serait "aide soignant(e) diplômé(e)".

Ancient document (1966) but interesting:

http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/RC_Aug-1966.pdf

Thus, in Belgium, the old name of "sick-nurse" [garde-malade] has been replaced by that of "hospital attendant" [hospitaliere], while in the United Kingdom, "assistant nurses" became" enrolled nurses
" in 1961. In other countries, the nursing auxiliary is called an "auxiliary nurse" (South Africa), a" nurse aide" (South Australia), "auxiliar de enfermagem", "enfermeiro pratico" or "pratico de enfermagem ", according to the qualifications possessed (Brazil),
"nursing aide", " licensed practical nurse", "nursing assistant
"or" registered nursing assistant" (Canada), " aide-soignante" (France), " licensed practical nurse" (USA), "nursing aid" (New Zealand), II auxiliar de enfermeria" (Peru), "nursing assistant" (Sierra Leone) and "aide-soignante" or "aide-hospitaliE~re", according to the training received (Switzerland, Vaud).

Donc, pour être infirmier, il faut un diplôme d'état. Il n'existe pas de "sous-catégorie" d'infirmier en France.
