American Academy of Nurse Practitioners State Awards for Excellence and Advocacy

Hi Colleagues!

One again, it is that time of the year to begin the nomination process for the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners State Awards for Excellence and Advocacy.  The NP State Award for Excellence is given annually to an NP who has demonstrated excellence in NP clinical practice.  The Advocate State Award for Excellence is given annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution toward increasing awareness and acceptance of NPs.  Examples of past recipients of this award have been physicians, legislators, educators, etc.  NPs are also eligible for the advocate award for non-clinical practice initiatives related to leadership, policy, politics, research, education, or community affairs.  Neither the nominator nor nominee must be an AANP member. 

More information as well as the nomination forms can be found on the AANP website at http://www.aanp.org/.
Please consider nominating deserving individuals for these prestigious awards!
