Each year we celebrate Nurse Practitioner (NP) Week to recognize the critical role that NPs play in our health care system. Through advocacy, education, and leadership, we have seen the NP role grow and expand. NPs work as primary care providers, advocates, researchers, educators, policy makers and leaders in hospitals, speciality clinics, long-term care, and primary care settings across the province. This week we celebrate you and thank you for your commitment, exceptional care and advocacy.
Happy NP week to BC's hard-working NPs!
