What’s Been Happening

January: Congratulations Jasmine Greene! Winner of the National Conference Registration in Orlando at The Rosen Shingle Creek!

December 2022: The Florida Chapter contributed to the NAPNAP 50Forward year-long celebration as Bronze Level contributor. The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) will be celebrating our 50th anniversary and place in history as the first national nurse practitioner society. With a milestone this large, NAPNAP plans to celebrate by honoring our community of experts in pediatrics and advocates for children for the entire year.

What is coming up!

The Florida Chapter is looking forward to some exciting events in the coming months!

March 2023: The National Convention returns to Orlando! The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners will bring all the fun, networking and education to us in March! The Rosen Shingle Creek will be hosting this premier event of the year right here in our own backyard!

Ongoing projects for the chapter include:

Education Opportunities share your knowledge! We are looking for members who would like to present a brief   but informative   1- hour CE for fellow members. This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge, gain experience in public speaking in a comfortable, supportive arena and update your colleagues. If you have a topic to present, please reach out to our education chair Frankie Gilliland at: flgill01@me.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Our Community Engagement Project, the Florida Chapter wants to do more for the local communities, where we live, work and play. To do this we are asking our members to let us know how we can help! Is there a local nonprofit for kids that shares the mission of NAPNAP that is important to you? If so, we are offering up to $250 to donate to the cause! Or are you passionate about something else that you see as a deficit in your daily practice such as Oral hygiene? Do you need help in providing education and dental hygiene kits for a class/grade/or school? Let us help. Some Boys and Girls club need help for certain projects or events, whatever your passion for fulfilling the mission of NAPNAP, let us help! Click on the link to complete an application.
