Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners (MICNP)
The Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners (MICNP) was a product of two nurse practitioner (NP) groups from the Metro Detroit area coming together in September 2000. It is through the efforts of these pioneers that MICNP has become the voice of nurse practitioners in Michigan. The Council is the only NP organization in the state to represent all specialties within the nurse practitioner community.
These forward-thinking leaders were instrumental in providing the basis for both stability and growth of the organization. Under their guidance, MICNP became a non-profit, tax exempt entity whose bylaws define their purpose. The goals of these pioneers were to provide Michigan’s nurse practitioners the leadership and resources to improve their practice environment through education of its members and the community, promoting access to NP services, and legislative action when appropriate.
Vision:
MICNP is the professional home for NPs. It is a forward-thinking, innovative and dynamic organization; engaging and inspiring Michigan's NPs to work together with one voice.
Mission:
The Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners improves the NP practice environment through education, advocacy, and engagement of its members.
