Join Your Advanced Practice Nursing Network

When you join the Illinois Society of Advanced Practice Nursing (ISAPN), you join a community of advanced practice nurses who share your passion.

No more feeling unheard or out on your own—here, your voice matters and you’ll meet other advanced practice nurses who understand where you’re coming from.

At ISAPN, we're reshaping the profession by creating a thriving community that embraces you and supports your professional growth.

I look forward to the ISAPN Midwest Conference every year. It is a wonderful place to connect with other APRNs across a variety of specialties. Here we can network with people from academia and private practice, urban and rural settings, and business owners and innovators. I feel reinvigorated, motivated, and connected to my profession.

Meet Caring & Involved Advanced Practice Registered Nurses Like You

I am reminded that I have a whole team of APRNs holding my hands through my journey as a caregiver. I have achieved [the Julie Adkins Nurse of the Year Award] with the help and support of every ISAPN member. We are a team, and we will achieve great things together.
