The FAANP program was established in 2000 to recognize nurse practitioner leaders who have made outstanding contributions to health care through clinical practice, research, education, or policy. Priority initiatives of AANP are the development of leadership and mentorship programs for nurse practitioners and nurse practitioner students. Fellows of the AANP are visionaries committed to the global advancement of nursing through the development of imaginative and creative future nurse practitioner leaders, and as such, hold an annual think tank to strategize about the future of nurse practitioners and health care outside the confines of traditional thinking. A limited number of nurse practitioners are selected for this highly coveted distinction each year.

With more than 45,000 individual members and 200 group members, AANP represents the interests of approximately 167,000 nurse practitioners around the country. AANP continually advocates for the active role of nurse practitioners as providers of high-quality, cost-effective, personalized, patient-centered health care.
Hello Barbara
I recently started a small virtual psychiatric practice in New Jersey. Not sure about the ins and outs. I have a New York Licience. How do I go about doing Telepsychiatry for New York or other states?
Thank you
Harriet
You must carry a license in all the states you wish to see patients. This includes following the rules and regs of that state.
I was wondering. If you have multiple script pads printed and then change jobs. Can you still use the script pads even though the former job name is on them?
I would destroy them.
