2024 OAAPN PAC Silent Auction

OAAPN IS COMMITTED…
to changing Ohio law to allow APRNs the ability to provide the best possible health care to Ohioans. Full Practice Authority is defined as the “collection of state practice and licensure laws that allow APRNs to evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, initiate and manage treatments – including prescribe medications – under the exclusive licensure authority of the state board of nursing.”

We have come a long way in the last decade, however Ohio’s APRNs continue to be restricted by outdated state practice regulations. OAAPN is the voice of over 16,000 APRNs in Ohio – we all need to pull together to ensure that APRNs can practice at the highest level of their education, training and certification.

OAAPN's Mission is to promote Advanced Practice Nursing through practice, education, advocacy, and leadership

OAAPN's Vision is Ohio APRNs will be recognized as leaders in providing affordable, accessible, quality healthcare for all Ohioans.
