NP Week

National Nurse Practitioner Week

National Nurse Practitioner Week is held annually to celebrate these exceptional health care providers and to remind lawmakers of the importance of removing outdated barriers to practice so nurse practitioners (NPs) will be allowed to practice to the full extent of their experience and education.

Save the Date for National NP Week November 9-15, 2025.

During 2024, the NP Week theme was NPs at the Heart of Health Care. The resource guide included information such as a sample news release, talking points, an NP fact sheet, community activities, a media interview guide, posters and guidelines for writing a letter to the editor.

Thank You for An Incredible #NPWeek!

2024 NP Week Proclamation Map

Each state’s efforts to secure an NP Week proclamation was highlighted on AANP’s annual NP Week Proclamation Map. In 2024, states that received proclamations signed by any elected official were filled with an image of the proclamation itself. Congratulations to NPs in West Virginia for submitting the first proclamation of 2024, signed by Governor Jim Justice!
