MISSION STATEMENT

To promote unity of the nurse practitioner

profession across the state,

provide opportunities for education,

networking with colleagues, and

opportunities for political involvement.

The Nurse Practitioner Association of South Dakota was established in August of 1997 to foster practitioner practice in South Dakota.  Members come from all specialty areas of practice.  Cohesiveness of Nurse Practitioners, regardless of area of practice, is a primary creed of the organization.  The development of a communication network for NP's, an instrument for the promotion of continuing education, and an organization to promote the profession are some of the major goals of the organization.
