AACN is committed to supporting our state delegations with legislation that will impact the ability of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to provide care to the full extent of their education and training. Please contact AACN’s Director of Government Affairs, Dr. Suzanne Miyamoto, at smiyamoto@aacn.nche.edu if we can be of assistance.

They recognize that the care provided by APRNs is safe, cost-effective and is essential for access to care.
