National Nurse Practitioner Week celebrated Nov 10-16
Nurse practitioners provide more than 171,000 solutions to the health care crisis
Las Vegas, NV (11/10/13) - As the health care provider shortage continues to top the national agenda, it is important that the public be aware that there are more than 171,000 advanced practice registered nurse practitioners (APRNs) in the United States who provide high-quality, cost-effective, comprehensive, patient-centered care to patients across the country. In June of this year, the State Legislature as well as Governor Sandoval signed into law AB 170. This law helps to ensure the citizens of Nevada have access to caring and competent APRNs.
APRNs are licensed, expert clinicians with advanced education (most have master’s and many have doctorate degrees) and extensive clinical preparation who provide primary, acute and specialty health care services. In addition to providing a full range of services, APRNs work as partners with their patients, guiding them to make educated health care decisions and healthy lifestyle choices. The confidence that patients have in APRNs delivered health care is evidenced by the more than 916 million visits made to APRNs every year.
National Nurse Practitioner Week, November 10-16, 2013, is a time to celebrate these exceptional health care providers and to remind lawmakers of the importance of removing outdated barriers to practice so that APRNs will be allowed to practice to the full extent of their experience and education. Nurse practitioners are informed, in touch and involved, making them the health care providers of choice for millions and a solution to the primary care crisis in America.

The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) is the largest professional membership organization for APRNs of all specialties. It represents the interests of the nation’s 171,000 NPs, including more than 47,500 individual members and 215 groups, providing a unified networking platform and advocating for their role as providers of high-quality, cost-effective, comprehensive, patient-centered and personalized health care.
