Information: This webinar will discuss NANNP's position statement entitled "The Impact of Advanced Practice Nurses' Shift Length and Fatigue on Patient Safety". Background, process and content will be discussed.

It is NANNP's position that NNPs, like other healthcare providers, are susceptible to the negative effects of fatigue and sleep deprivation. NNPs are professionally accountable and as such are responsible for minimizing any risk to patient and personal safety.
