Overview

Mission

The mission of the american college of nurse practitioners is to ensure a solid policy and regulatory foundation that enables nurse practitioners to continue providing accessible, high quality healthcare.

What it reported doing in 2012

National Clinical Conference: Each year ACNP hosts a National Clinical Conference, drawing over 1,100 nurse practitioners from across the country. Attendees select from over 100 clinical presentations covering the full range of clinical specialties. The conference location varies annually and is selected to offer easy access for nurse practitioners. An attempt is made to vary locations to appeal to different localities. In addition to the range of clinical sessions, the conference features keynote presentations and skills workshops. Pre-conference hands on skill workshops are extremely popular and offer in-depth attention for specific clinical practice requirements. ACNP also uses this gathering to host its Corporate Advisory Council as well as a plenary session for all attendees to highlight ACNP's activities and accomplishments. Input is sought from practicing NPs about their issues, concerns and priorities. The Exhibit Hall is another important element of this conference, with vendors from both the public and private sector on hand for face to face interaction with nurse practitioners.
