Continuing Education Mission
As The Leader in Pediatric Education for Nurse Practitioners®, the ongoing mission of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is to provide lifelong learning opportunities to support pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in promoting optimal health for children.
National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners Accreditation Program
The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is pleased to offer accreditation to those providers of continuing nursing education who wish to offer NAPNAP continuing education (CE) contact hours. Use of the NAPNAP contact hour conveys a standard mark of quality learning activities for pediatric-focused APRNs. These educational opportunities provide pediatric-focused APRNs who provide health care to children and families with the ongoing knowledge and skills needed for professional development and to provide patients optimal care.
