Founding members of what would become the California Association for Nurse Practitioners were not only pioneers of the organization – they were some of the first-ever nurse practitioners in California. In this series of articles, some of those who were there at the beginning reflect on the early motivations, challenges and successes of CANP, and navigating the uncharted territory that characterized life as a new nurse practitioner in the 1970s.

The California Association for Nurse Practitioners (CANP) provides a forum and unifying voice for more than 30,000 nurse practitioners statewide, often joining forces with other state and national organizations, to advance the profession and bridge health care needs. As the only association solely dedicated to advocating for nurse practitioners in California, we work to protect and expand the critical roles filled by NPs. As a conduit of information, we foster the dissemination of ideas, advice and standards of practice.
