AAP offers affiliate membership to NP's!

AAP is now offering membership to Nurse Practitioners!  They have offered affiliate membership to PA's in the past, but now they are including NP's.  If you are a member of NAPNAP, the cost is $135/year as opposed to $150/year.  You are also able to join the Washington State AAP Chapter at no cost and can belong to one of the AAP Sections such as Emergency Medicine (for a fee).
