more on support from the NASPGHAN office
– With support from NASPGHAN administration we did successfully
launch the APGNN Listserve, a membership benefit that has been
consistently requested for many years.
– APGNN members will continue to serve on NASPGHAN committees.
– Increased engagement in recent NASPGHAN Advocacy efforts and
plans to continue to make this a priority as much as possible
Clinical Practice
Committee
6-12 Month Goals
• We worked closely with Dr. Heubi, and the Montreal organizer, Yee
Fun Wong in regard to World Congress planning.
– International venue resulted in unique challenges but has been an excellent
opportunity for collaboration
• APGNN, CPNP, and PCG have created the first day of our 2016
Annual meeting as a multidisciplinary collaborative including all
groups.

more streamlined and transparent.

1-3 Year Goals
Reviewing archived webinars and applying for RN continuing education hours for members.
– Unfortunately since APGNN members were not on faculty, this is not possible for past
offerings
– Future projects will have APGNN representation and we are also pursing other avenues
for CEU credit
Moving forward all material produced through NASPGHAN will be submitted for nursing
education hours along with CME and RD hours.
– NAPNAP as well as the Boys Town Education department are willing to work with
NASPGHAN and APGNN moving forward as these educational opportunities are
presented. APGNN will need to be part of the process at the time the project is initiated
in order for the application to be processed.
Ongoing involvement with NASPGHAN committees
Professional development opportunities

Committee

institutions that support their nurse’s membership

– Handbook of Pediatric Gastroenterology 2nd ed. Available for

Committee
Overall Outcomes
• Our organization successfully negotiated a membership
agreement between APGNN and NAPNAP (National
Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners).
– The agreement allows members to join both organizations and
receive a 20% discount as a result of dual membership.
– APGNN currently works closely with NAPNAP as the provider for
our Annual Meeting CEU’s.
– APGNN was an Invited guest at NAPNAP Annual Conference

Committee
Overall Outcomes
• APGNN does not have the member numbers
or resources to pursue formal certification at
present
– Numerous other options to improve engagement
and advancement do exist and will be explored in
the near future

administrative support has made budgeting difficult.
