Nebraska Nurse - June 2018

June, July, August 2018 Nebraska Nurse • Page 9
Nebraska Nurse Practitioners has had a busy first
quarter of the year! Our legislative committee and
lobbyist worked closely with Senator Blood as she
introduced LB 687 Adopt the Advanced Practice
Registered Nurse Compact. We had many APRNs
who testified in support of the bill, but unfortunately
it did not make it out of committee this session. We
will be working with the APRNs in the state as well
as the Senators to provide insight and education
in to our roles and why the APRN compact would
be beneficial for Nebraska. This work will involve
a coalition of all APRNs (NP, CNS, CMN, CRNA) to
work together to implement the APRN consensus
model and APRN compact. For more information
regarding the consensus model and compact, please
check out the National Council of State Board of
Nursing’s website regarding this topic. https://www.

Nebraska Nurse Practitioners held its election

Secretary; and Brenda Hausserman was elected to
the Nominations Committee. They join the board on
April 1, 2018. Tara Whitmire’s term as President-Elect
ends on April 1 as well and she transitions to the role
of President. Joel Ruiz will transition to Nominations
Committee Chair and Kelli Lewandowski will move
in to the Finance Chair position. Mellissa Fulton,
Kathy Hoebelheinrich and Theresa Langan have
fulfilled their terms as Secretary, Finance Chair and
Nominations Committee Chair, respectively. Many
thanks to them both for all their hard work and
dedication to the organization! NNP would also
like to thank LaDonna Hart for her service to the
organization. She served as President for 2 terms
and helped lead us through an exciting time as
legislation was passed granting us Full Practice
Authority!
There are exciting times ahead for NNP as the
transition of leadership takes place and strategic
planning occurs to formulate how the organization
can best serve its members and the citizens of
Nebraska.
