Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
Wednesday Nov 09, 2022
The nurse practitioner (NP) role has a rich history, beginning with its co-creation by Drs. Loretta Ford and Henry Silver in 1965 — and there are now more than 355,000 NPs licensed to practice in the U.S.!
Hear from American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) Region 1 Director Dr. Valerie Fuller, Vermont State Liaison Michelle Wade, AANP Fellow Dr. Christina Calamaro and AANP members Dr. Joy Deupree and Eliana Marcus Aaron as they share why they chose to become an NP, provide examples of NP innovation and advocacy in action, highlight the value of networking and discuss the continued importance of advocating for advanced practice nurses and patients — here in the U.S. and abroad.
Prepare to celebrate National NP Week Nov. 13-19 by downloading the resource guide and sharing your NP story with AANP. To increase your advocacy skills, register for the 2023 AANP Health Policy Conference, which is scheduled to be held Jan. 29-31 in Washington, D.C.
