Our Mission

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE NURSE PRACTITIONER ASSOCIATION is a non-profit organization. As a statewide professional association, it recognizes the common needs of its members. The association also recognizes the professional and political concerns facing nurse practitioners. NHNPA has always played a major role in facilitating and supporting appropriate changes in legislation that affect the nurse practitioner.

NHNPA believes that by proper networking among its members, it will be able to promote high standards of health care and thereby enhance the identity and continuity of nurse practitioners in our state.

The NHNPA endorses the following activities:

• Building and strengthening our membership
• Acting as a vehicle for networking among NPs at national, state and local levels
• Facilitating and promoting appropriate changes in legislation that will affect all nurse practitioners in the state

• Acting as a resource center for standards of practice, legislative activities, educational programs, research, third-party reimbursement and prescriptive practice

• Promoting and marketing the unique role of the NP
• Participating in all areas of health care policy that impact nursing practice and consumer satisfaction
• Strengthening communication to other healthcare professionals through  joint educational programs

As for the future, NHNPA's survival and performance is dependent on each member. The Association first needs to work on improving relationships among our colleagues, and secondly, to consciously appreciate the joy of being an NP!
