National Nurse Practitioner Week is November 7 - 13, 2021.  National Nurse Practitioner Week is held annually to celebrate these exceptional health care providers and to remind lawmakers of the importance of removing outdated barriers to practice so nurse practitioners (NPs) will be allowed to practice to the full extent of their experience and education.  In honor of Nurse Practitioner Week, Governor Jay Inslee has issued the attached proclamation. Thank you for your work providing access to high quality care to Washington's residents.
