Get ready to celebrate National Nurse Practitioner Week! Taking place November 13 - 19, 2011, this week is a great time to celebrate the wonderful work of nurse practitioners across the nation.

 

Nurse practitioners provide more than 148,000 solutions to the healthcare shortage facing the U.S. today. NPs deliver high-quality, cost-effective, patient-centered healthcare to millions of Americans. Help AANP continue to educate lawmakers and the public about the role of the nurse practitioner and the benefits of choosing an NP as their healthcare provider.

 

AANP’s National NP Week Online Toolkit can help you plan activities to build awareness of the many contributions that nurse practitioners make to healthcare—and the difference that they make in the lives of their patients.
