Job Opportunities for Nurse Practitioners


We Need an ARNP Just Like You!

Dear Prospective KCNPNM Member,



We are in desperate need of your support to continue to move our profession forward. The support offered to ARNP's will only be strengthened thorough lobbying efforts and this can not happen without professional support-your membership with Kentucky Coalition of Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Midwives (KCNPNM) can facilitate this perspective. The goal is to have all Kentucky ARNP's to be members. In addition your membership will enable you to:

· Access excellent resources for students and practicing ARNPs, including a calendar of events, conference information, legislative, reimbursement, online membership application and renewal, links to allied organizations, A Guide for Kentucky ARNPs: Prescribing Controlled Substances, discussion board and other resources. All for members at www.kcnpnm.org

· Professional Networking through KCNPNM's 11 regions throughout the state. Regional meetings and directors provide local support, networking and education to its members.

· Political Representation - We employ a lobbyist to represent the interests of Advanced Practice Nurses in Frankfort and bring your voice to the legislative table.

· Discount on KCNPNM's annual conference TOWARD EXCELLENCE IN ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSING, a major regional conference to come together for continuing education, support and networking opportunities.

· Discount on American College of Nurse Practitioners membership.

This publication offers updates on regional activities, practice issues, legislation, research, current board contact information and member commentaries.

· Scholarships – KCNPNM offers two scholarships for MSN students and one award for an ARNP or CNM pursuing a doctoral degree in nursing. In addition, we are privileged to participate in the awarding of the Jacquelyn Bail Nurse Practitioner Memorial Nurse Practitioner scholarship. Each of the scholarships is $1,500.00.

In addition to KCNPNM's local benefits, there is also a strong national presence! KCNPNM is a leading source of information and networking opportunities for not only Kentucky ARNPS, but also members who reside all over the nation. The organization continues to lobby for the voices of ARNP's of the commonwealth and assure the continued growth of ARNP practice. I am sure you would want to assure your practice continues without additional restrictions and continued growth.

No matter what your area of practice, KCNPNM is there to find you answers, help you better serve your patients, and assure ARNP's continue to evolve as a profession!

If you choose not to renew your membership, you may miss out on the benefits of some of KCNPNM's services, such as our Job Bank, legislative news, FREE continuing education opportunities, Nationally recognized scholarship, and best of all strengthening the profession through collegial association with fellow ARNP's. Take a minute to check out these services while you still can, and you will realize that continuing your membership in KCNPNM is the best way to expand your knowledge and make your profession stronger.

To join your fellow your KCNPNM, go to www.kcnpnm.org, and click on Membership, or contact Leila Faucette at 502-333-0076. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing you at upcoming KCNPNM events.
