The Benefits of Being an AANP Member

I am a member to American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). I became a member in 2011 when I decided to take my exam through AANP.

These are the perks of being a Student Member
($55 per annum):

 

I received a $75 discount on applying for the AANP exam.

I got my professional liability insurance through Marsh U.S. Consumers which is sponsored by AANP.

I get a subscription to AANP Smartbriefs, a daily email of new updates. Smartbriefs presents daily emails of new studies that were published, updates in medications approved by the FDA, and news in legislation pertaining to nurse practitioners and the changing healthcare system in our country.

I have free subscription to the monthly Journal of American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP).

I have access to AANP Careerlink, a career placement service website for nurse practioners.

I can receive savings on hardware and software through the AANP Mobile Solutions Center.

I only pay $50 registration fee for the AANP National Conference.

One more thing I like about being an AANP member is that I know that AANP is advocating for me continue to be professionally recognized and to be able to extend my scope of practice in more states which will give me more opportunities in the future.

Professional Membership ($125 per annum):

Same as above including:

Access to continuing education (CE) activities.

$50 discount on Physician Quality Reporting Systems (PQRS)- A voluntary reporting system of quality measures for covered services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. This program provides financial incentives to healcare providers who are involved.

MedicAlert Foundation also provides 24 hours Emergency Response System in which medically trained personnel will transmit healthcare records to responding facilities and communicate to the patient's nurse practitioner of patient's status for ensuring proper coordination of care.

Discounted registration fee to AANP National Conference.
