The role of the nurse practitioner continues to evolve in response to changing societal and health care needs. It is important for our practice that we stay involved in our professional organization and seek support from our colleagues. The Nurse Practitioner Association of South Dakota was established in August of 1997 to foster nurse 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 NPs, an instrument for the promotion of continuing education, and an organization to promote the profession are some of the major goals of the organization. Bylaws are available here . Scholarship The Nurse Practitioner Association of South Dakota agains plans to award a scholarship to a Nurse Practioner student. Further details will be posted soon.
