The Society of Nurses in Advanced Practice is a professional organization developed to support advanced nursing practice in Northwest Indiana.
Great news! AANP has launched a national campaign to increase public awareness of the NP role in the U.S. health care system – an initiative that was featured in Sunday’s Washington Post. For the article, go to: http://goo.gl/9EDpY. Read a letter about the campaign from AANP President Penny Kaye Jensen, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, FAANP at http://goo.gl/nwc27.

The Board of Directors just wanted to let you know we received a call from C. Kinder (one of our military personnel) thanking us for the care package we sent to him and his friends in Afghanistan. He said it was very encouraging to receive a package from “strangers” at home and he wanted to personally call and thank us. We believe it’s important for our members to know that one of the box recipients took the time to look up our contact information via web and make the call to say thank you. We really made a difference for him during the holiday season!
Thanks to all of our MEMBERS Whom Make a DIFFERENCE DAILY!
