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annually to celebrate these exceptional health care providers and to remind lawmakers of the importance of removing outdated barriers to practice so nurse practitioners (NPs) will be allowed to practice to the full extent of their experience and education.
NP Week 2024 will be held November 10–16, 2024.
The NP role needs you! This special week offers numerous opportunities to bring recognition to the NP role and increase awareness of the exceptional care that NPs provide. The NP Week Proclamation and resource guide are available to assist you in the annual celebration. The resource guide includes 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. Mark your calendars to celebrate November 10-16, 2024.
How to Submit an NP Week Proclamation
2024 NP Week Proclamation Map
Each state’s efforts to secure an NP Week proclamation will be highlighted on AANP’s annual NP Week Proclamation Map. In 2024, states that receive proclamations signed by any elected official will be marked green on the map — or even better — filled with pictures of NPs who were present for the signing or an image of the proclamation itself. Congratulations to NPs in West Virginia for submitting the first proclamation of 2024, signed by Governor Jim Justice!
