Special Interest Groups

NAPNAP Special Interest Groups (SIGs) allow members to share common interests in an organized, formal manner. As resources for the NAPNAP Executive Board and general membership, these groups provide expertise for projects such as the development of Position Statements or educational materials; offer advice on pending legislation; act as Task Force members; or serve as liaisons to other organizations.

These groups are led by chairpersons and operate under the direction of NAPNAP's Clinical Practice Chairperson. NAPNAP's current roster of SIGs includes:

• Acute Care PNP
