Dear Nurse Practitioner & NPA member,

Governor Andrew Cuomo has proclaimed November 11-17 as NP week in New York! Together we join with the nation in a celebration of Nurse Practitioners, raising public awareness of the special and invaluable contributions NPs make to the health of our patients and their families.

Congratulations on your state and national recognition as a Nurse Practitioner! It is a well-deserved honor and you have every right to be proud. As a profession we have many roles and provide much needed care. As a NP your dedication to your profession and your patients shows in everything you do every day you do it.

What will you do to help celebrate NP week? You can see a list of ideas available here. Then, perhaps you will let us know how you chose to celebrate NP week 2012.

Sincerely,
