Hi [Name],
As I’ve probably mentioned before, I’m a member of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, also known as NAPNAP. It has been the ideal professional home for me because it provides a community of pediatric-focused nurse practitioners to engage with and continuing education that has enhanced my practice. As we continue to innovate how we practice and/or educate or precept the next generation of NPs, I truly believe that benefits and services that NAPNAP offers will be very valuable. I recommend you join me in NAPNAP’s community of experts in pediatrics and advocates for children.
Learn more about NAPNAP membership and feel free to ask me questions about my experience. When you join, please include my name in the referred by field. I’m participating in the current Recruit & Reward campaign. Now is a particularly advantageous time for you to join because NAPNAP members have free access to NAPNAP Cares, an innovative mental health continuing education collection of 30 courses to enhance your practice. Additionally, registration for NAPNAP’s national conference opens in mid-October and members are privy to an exclusive registration rate.
