On June 13, 2022, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) published our first-ever Pulse of the Profession report. Our mission with this project was twofold. First, we wanted an accurate assessment of the profession to better understand current realities for PNPs and their fellow pediatric-focused APRNs and to discover issues requiring corrective action. We asked about their motivations, aspirations and challenges across different care and educational settings. Second, we wanted to learn how NAPNAP can better support pediatric-focused APRNs as their professional home, particularly around education and advocacy.

We encourage you to read and share our 2022 Pulse of the Profession report with your health care colleagues and other stakeholders.
