We are the Blues City Chapter of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP). NAPNAP is the professional organization for pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) and other pediatric-focused advanced practice nurses. NAPNAP is the first national professional society for nurse practitioners and remains the only national organization dedicated to both advancing the APRN role and improving the quality of health care for infants, children and adolescents.
Our chapter is dedicated to helping PNPs connect with each other in the tri-state area: Mississippi, Southwest Tennessee and East Arkansas. Our mission is to promote optimal health for our pediatric patients and their families through leadership, practice, advocacy, education and research.
Our chapter conducts in-person and online networking and continuing education events to support your clinical practice needs and professional career goals. We also provide access to NAPNAP’s national resources such as: Career Connection, Journal of Pediatric Health Care, clinical practice resources, patient education information and more.
With your support, our chapter plays a critical role in state-level legislative and regulatory matters on important child health and advanced-practice nursing issues. We collaborate with other state or local groups on advocacy efforts to raise awareness and strengthen the collective voice of pediatric experts and advanced practice nurses.
