Join The NPA and take control of your profession, your practice and your patients’ care. With an increasingly changing and chaotic health care environment, you can rely on The NPA to provide practice support, a welcoming network of colleagues and an unwavering commitment to eliminate barriers preventing you from practicing at the top of your license.  

Because you care about your patients.

You put in countless hours and hard work to acquire the knowledge to become a nurse practitioner. You believe that building relationships with your patients, using your knowledge to diagnose and treat, and educating, leads to better individual outcomes and healthier communities. As a member of The NPA, you will continue this lifelong learning through our continuing education meetings and events so you can apply the latest evidence based practice information. Most of all, you care, deeply, about the health and well-being of your patients.

Because you’re committed to your profession.

You believe in the perception and public awareness of nurse practitioners. You care about patient choice, access to care, patient safety and pay equity. You take your work seriously and want to do everything you can to provide the best possible care and deliver peace of mind. You believe nurse practitioners should practice without any barriers so that you can appropriately address all your patients’ needs. You believe in The NPAs Mission: to promote and support the highest standards of healthcare throughout New York State; through education, advocacy, leadership and fostering the empowerment of nurse practitioner professional practice.

Because you want more from your profession.

You want to join a community of other nurse practitioners across New York State. You seek to build camaraderie and to share your experiences with others who understand. As a member of The NPA, you will connect with student nurse practitioners seeking your advice and other nurse practitioners across all specialties to share best practices and experiences. You are proud of your profession and want to contribute to see it thrive.
