THE NEW HAMPSHIRE NURSE PRACTITIONER ASSOCIATION is a non-profit, professional advocacy organization, dedicated to preserving the strength and integrity of advanced practice nursing.

NHNPA remains alert to state and federal legislative and regulatory initiatives that impact the profession, and our members serve on numerous task forces, which strive to improve patient access and the quality of health care.

NHNPA supports networking among advanced practices nurses in the state, national and international arenas. We sponsor regional dinner meetings that provide educational programs, participate in regional leadership meetings, co-host the annual Northeast Regional Nurse Practitioner Conference, and have joined community partners to bring medical knowledge and resources to a small village in West Africa.

NHNPA is honored to support nursing students through the NHNPA Claire Martin Memorial Scholarship Fund. We also offer a student membership rate to those enrolled in nurse practitioner degree programs.

Whether you work in a hospital, clinic, private practice or school setting, whether you care for the very young or the very old, whether you are an employer or an employee, and whether or not you prescribe medications, NHNPA strives to make NH the best practice environment in the world for nurse practitioners!
