Nursing faculty Calli Cook DNP APRN FNP-C, Trisha Sheridan DNP WHNP-BC SANE-A CFN and Paula Tucker DNP FNP-BC ENP-C have been elected as Fellows in the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The 2020 Fellowship in the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) is an honor bestowed upon a group of leaders whose scholarly contributions have led to significant improvements to healthcare and the nurse practitioner role. The Academy is composed of more than 2,000 of the nation's most accomplished nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy and research, and selection for fellowship is one of the highest professional honors in the field of nursing.
“This recognition places Cook, Sheridan, and Tucker among a global cohort of nurse practitioners making a positive impact on healthcare, dedicated to advancing the profession and developing our future leaders,” says Dean Linda McCauley PhD RN FAAN FAAOHN. “The exceptional contributions that these Fellows make to our profession and field exemplify the hours and hours of hard work that go into an acceptance.”
Established in 2000 to impact national and global health by engaging recognized nurse practitioners to lead new initiatives, the AANP inducts fewer than 100 fellows annually.
