Sharing success stories and challenges, learning new professional practices and techniques, and actively participating in committee and business meetings to shape NAPNAP’s future will inspire you and enhance your pediatric career. More nurse practitioners than ever before are gaining full practice authority and the autonomy needed to be full partners and champions for child health. I am proud to have helped lead the charge for full practice authority in my home state of Minnesota, bringing the number of states recognizing independent practice to 19. Our health policy sessions will provide you with practical and effective strategies to advocate for pediatric health care and the APRN profession in your home state, as well as at the federal level. NAPNAP is deeply committed to increasing the leadership capacity of our members and profession. This year we are excited to launch a new professional development and leadership track. The track includes interactive sessions that are focused on your career including how to find the best position, and navigate legal and workplace issues. You can explore a variety of emerging roles in sessions about pediatric urgent care and PNPs as hospitalists. You will also hear about “hot topics” in child health policy and APRN regulation. We invite you to learn about these and other exciting and stimulating education sessions, courses and intensive workshops in the pages of this brochure. I’m confident that what happens in Vegas won’t “stay in Vegas.” You will carry these lessons with you throughout your career, empowering you to shine as a role model to your colleagues and fellow providers and improve your daily practice.

Dynamic, Nationally recognized Speakers
Keynote and General Session Speaker Highlights Tina Meier Opening Speaker Bullied Youth: The Role of Pediatric Advanced Practice Nurses
“We are beginning to realize that bullying is no longer considered ‘a normal part of growing up,’ but rather an issue truly wreaking havoc on youth’s self-esteem, self-worth, academic performance, motivation, emotional well-being and overall happiness.”
Mary Koslap-Petraco, DNP, PNP-BC, CPNP, FAANP General Session Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2015 — Updating the Evidence for Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
“To tomorrow’s leaders — you have to have a passion for this. You have the ability to be change agents in children’s health care and promote a healthy lifestyle in children. Immunizations are integral to primary care, there’s no way to put a value to it, and as nurses we own it. We have the power to use our knowledge to educate patients, colleagues and the public… Immunizations are not dead, there is much work and education to be done!”
Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk, PhD, RN, CPNP/ PMHNP, FAANP, FNAP, FAAN General Session Lunch Healthy PNPs/Healthy Children and Families: Evidence-based Strategies for Optimal Wellness
“Behaviors are the #1 killer of Americans, including nurses. Find a passionate reason to make just one healthy lifestyle change today. Your life along with the lives of your families and patients depend on the healthiest YOU!”

Laura Searcy MN, APRN, PCPNP-BC General Session Current Hot Topics in Child Health Policy: The Status of Reauthorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
“Throughout my career, I’ve worked to influence policy and also spend time in making policy... I started out by becoming active in my professional association on a state and national level and working on legislative and policy activities and initiatives. These experiences opened doors to leadership roles. I’m proud to have served my local school board for three terms, establishing important connections and relationships along the way. To this day, I continue to advocate for full utilization of the skills of advanced practice nurses and numerous child health policy issues.”
Catherine RobinsonWalker, MBA, MCC Closing Keynote Leading Valiantly in Health Care
“My new book, Leading Valiantly in Health Care, offers a vital series of concrete steps that enable business leaders to examine their personal goals and management style and develop outstanding practices that motivate their employees and enhance the bottom-line.”
