Leaders from NAPNAP’s Professional Issues Committee recently completed a comprehensive review and revision to our online Career Resources Guide. Although this updated guide may refer to PNPs in some areas, the information applies to all types of nurse practitioners (NPs) in all practice and clinical settings and should be an indispensable resource for NPs across the continuum of their careers. Click on sections of the guide below to get in-depth information to assist you in your career development. 

For new graduate NPs, welcome to an exciting and rewarding career! This guide will assist your preparation for obtaining certification, securing your first position, obtaining your DEA number and successfully obtaining credentialing and privileging. Included in the guide are descriptions of helpful tools such as a curriculum vitae, cover letter, performance appraisals and more. Not only will it assist you as you establish yourself in your career, it will provide the tools necessary for you to grow in your career.

For the experienced NP, this resource has been retooled to facilitate your continued success and expand your professional development. Several NAPNAP members contributed their expertise to establish a comprehensive resource inclusive of reimbursement issues, productivity and outcome measures.

It’s our pleasure to present this resource to you as a guide to your career development and with appreciation for your role in advancing the practice of all NPs and PNPs.
