Happy NP Week 2016

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week to our entire UAPRN family. This year has proven to be such a productive year for our members and followers. 2017 will be even better. UAPRN has so many initiatives and partnerships on the horizon. We are working hard to ensure that the organization is meeting and surpassing the needs of all of our advanced practice members and followers. Attached you will find a resource guide developed by AANP. Please take the time to peruse the document which is a wealth of knowledge.

We are here to serve you and inspire you to serve others in an even greater capacity. Time permitting, lend your hands to the community service initiative of your choice. Many of our individual chapters are supporting a local community service organization. You can join the state board members at Open Hand Atlanta. Feel free to sign up for any time this week and please continue throughout the year. See more info at http://www.projectopenhand.org/.
