National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners

National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners Experts in pediatrics. Advocates for children. Website: http://www.napnap.org/

NAPNAP is non-partisan.

With more than 8,000 members, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is the professional association for pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) and all pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Established in 1973, we were the first professional society for nurse practitioners and remain the only national organization dedicated to both advancing the A

PRN role and improving the quality of health care for infants, children and adolescents. Our esteemed members include national child health experts, respected authors, distinguished faculty and practicing clinicians who represent many facets of pediatric health care delivery. We believe the articles we share provide newsworthy child health and safety information.
