      Founder and Moderator

      The CAZNAP listserv is open to Advanced Practices Nurses and Nurse Practitioner students who are interested in communicating with other Advanced Practice nurses regarding clinical and professional issues. CAZNAP was founded in April of 2000 and started as a small group interested in tackling the issue of fair reimbursement for Advanced Practice Nurses. While this is a goal shared by other organizations, we continue to offer support by notifying CAZNAP members of things that may impact reimbursement in Arizona.We desire to work with existing Advanced Practice professional groups on our common goals. CAZNAP currently has members who are involved with local and national organizations including the Arizona Board of Nursing, Arizona Nurses Association, Arizona Nurse Practitioner Council American College of Nurse Practitioners and American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.We are currently not affiliated with any state of national organization.There are no dues required, CAZNAP remains a FREE service at this time. We are always interested in finding sponsors to assist with cost of website maintenance. Show less
