Our Story
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 national professional society for nurse practitioners and remain the only national organization dedicated to both advancing the APRN 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.
Our Vision, Mission and Team
NAPNAP is recognized as the global leader, trusted authority, and indispensable resource on comprehensive pediatric advanced practice nursing. Our mission is to empower pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses and key partners to optimize child and family health.
