Title
Illinois Society for Advanced Practice Nursing - The Official Site for APNs in Illinois
Description
On January 1, 2002, the Illinois Society for Advanced Practice Nursing was launched under the guidance of eleven APNs from all over the state who served as a Steering Committee. The birth of such an organization was eagerly anticipated by many APNs in Illinois, and on September 21, 2002, ISAPN was officially christened by charter members who elected the first Board of Directors and ratified the first set of permanent bylaws. Building on the work of the Steering Committee, the Board of Directors quickly articulated their vision for ISAPN in terms of four priorities:
Much progress has been made towards all four priorities. ISAPN's membership is, indeed, diverse as it encompasses certified registered nurse anesthetists, certified nurse midwives, certified nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists. ISAPN rapidly established its legislative and political presence in just one session of the Illinois General Assembly by the passage of an amendment to the School Code that allows APNs to sign school physical forms and the APN license-pending bills. All of these milestones are evidence of a successful marketing campaign, as well as the offering of a women's health conference in Bloomington and Chicago made possible by co-sponsorship with Wyeth.
We have staff and this website to answer your APN questions to attend to the myriad of activities necessary to maintain a vibrant organization that is responsive to its members' needs. Call 866-GO-IL-APN for more information.
