APRNS: JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEONATAL NURSE PRACTITIONERS
The National Association of Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NANNP) is a division of NANN and the unified voice of neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) and neonatal clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). NANNP members influence the future of neonatal APRNs, share their expertise with fellow members, and connect with NNP colleagues through NANN's online community forum and various task forces and work groups. While NANNP members receive NANN member benefits, NANNP provides its members with exclusive benefits designed just for APRNs, including an additional member discount in the NANN store and $10 off membership to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Current NANN members who are NNPs or CNSs can add NANNP to their NANN membership at any time by contacting member services at 800.451.3795.
