Established in 1989, the FANNP promotes the highest standards of neonatal nursing through education, practice and research. The Florida-based organization now represents neonatal nurse practitioners across the United States. We believe that all newborns and their families have a right to optimal care, and we are dedicated to facilitating cooperation among all health care professionals; promoting ethical and professional practices; serving as advocates for newborns and their families; increasing public awareness of the neonatal specialty; and enhancing the effectiveness of nursing in the promotion of human well-being.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: Neonatal Nurse Practitioners are skilled professionals in newborn care who demonstrate expertise in a variety of roles and activities. All newborns and their families deserve optimal care by neonatal nurse practitioners. As specialists in nursing practice, neonatal nurse practitioners recognize and accept their responsibility and duty to ensure appropriate delivery of care.
