NP Week 2020 Arrives Soon!
NP Week is just around the corner, November 8-14. This is the time to celebrate the incredible work NPs do every day and to the let everyone know about our important contributions to the health of California communities.
“While the work we do is important day in and day out, November 8-14 is our time to really shine a light on the role of nurse practitioners in California,” said Patti Gurney, president of the California Association for Nurse Practitioners (CANP). “This is especially important in 2020, the year we achieved the extraordinary passage of AB 890, which will allow NPs to practice without physician supervision and improve access to health care for all.”
CANP makes it easy to participate in NP week with tools to help you display your pride, opportunities to tell your personal stories and a special association membership incentive. We make it easy with an NP Week toolkit.
Are you on the front lines of battling the pandemic? Working in a rural community with limited access to health care? Serving patients who are incarcerated or undocumented? Helping under-resourced pregnant women deliver healthy babies? In whatever capacity you provide advanced nursing care, we want to hear from you. Send us your short stories using an easy online tool. We will highlight these stories over NP Week and beyond.
And what better way to crow about your role in delivering care than posting about NP Week on your favorite social media channels? We have suggested social media posts ready for you.
Whether you work in a hospital, clinic or another kind of setting, you can demonstrate your pride in our profession by wearing a blue ribbon. Order ribbons for your chapter members or work colleagues here.
NP Week is a great time to help everyone understand the diversity of the NP profession and the many ways we contribute to the health care system by improving access to excellent care for people throughout California. Check out all the ideas we have to help you promote our work, including an NP fact sheet for distribution.
