First&Foremost is published by Merion Matters Publishers of leading healthcare magazines since 1985. Joining Forces Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are heavily involved in the Joining Forces initiative for military veterans and their families. This program (http://www.whitehouse.gov/joiningforces) reaches out to service members and their families with resources for employment, education and wellness. A new effort to “join forces” is taking shape in the nurse practitioner profession. The boards of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and the American College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) recently voted to work toward consolidation as one national group representing NPs in all specialties. As someone who has observed and reported on these esteemed organizations for 19 years, I applaud this decision. And based on the feedback we received as soon as we posted this news on our website and social media, many NPs feel the same way: “This is a wonderful opportunity for there is strength in numbers” … “I am excited about the possibilities associated with this merger” … “This couldn’t come at a better time. We need one voice.” We at ADVANCE for NPs & PAs echo these reader comments and wish the two boards of directors well as they navigate this complex process. Read more about the planned consolodation in this month’s news section (Front & Center, page 8).
