Nurse Practitioner Week November 9-15, 2015

Each year, one week in November is declared National Nurse Practitioner Week. The occasion is not only a great opportunity to recognize the many contributions of nurse practitioners, but also to promote awareness of NPs and the Florida Nurse Practitioner Network. Our local groups will be engaged in activities to spotlight NPs, educate and increase public awareness of the value of NPs in today's healthcare system and sharing their accomplishments of the past year. Please let us know what you are doing so we can share these activities in our next newsletter.

Perhaps the single most important way to promote NP awareness is through district office visits with your local State Representatives and Senators. Thank you and enjoy National Nurse Practitioner week.
