Maine nurse practitioner association

The Maine Nurse Practitioner Association is the professional organization for nurse practitioners who constitute the largest group among Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and number about 3,170 in Maine.

The board certifications for NPs are - Family, Psychiatric Mental Health, Adult Gerontology Primary Care, Adult Gerontology Acute Care, Pediatric Primary Care, Pediatric Acute Care, Women’s Health and Neonatal. Many NPs may also have specific areas of interest and expertise in medical and surgical subspecialties (endocrinology, cardiology, gastroenterology and many others), underserved populations and rural health care.

 These are only a few examples of the significant contribution that NPs make to the healthcare of the citizens of Maine.

The Maine Nurse Practitioner Association stands in solidarity with our colleagues affected by the recent closures at Maine Family Planning and Northern Light. In support, MNPA is offering complimentary registration to our Fall Conference for any nurse practitioners who have recently lost their positions with these organizations. If you would like to attend, please email us at mainenpassociation@gmail.com.

We also encourage you to take advantage of our Career Center as a resource during this transition. Please know that your MNPA network stands with you and is committed to supporting you as you navigate this next chapter.
