PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Point of Care Network (POCN) is the largest network of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) in America and started America's Top NP Program 3 years ago with the goal of recognizing and celebrating influential and impactful NPs practicing today. While physicians have been able to nominate their peers for various "Top Doctor" listings for many years the ATNP Awards has been a vehicle to recognize the top members of the NP profession.

POCN and the ATNP Awards recognize outstanding NPs annually. The nominating process started in March allowing NPs and PAs to nominate a fellow NP who is demonstrating excellence in patient care, professional and practice development, and community outreach and involvement.  Announcement of the awards coincides with NP Week 2019 taking place November 10 – 16.
