:heartbeatI am a new practitioner. I would like to connect in person with others like myself. I know there are networking groups that meet often. How do I get started.

If you are a member of a professional organization, at times they have advertisements of nurse practitioner news (local, national meetings in various locations) in their publications. I would try LinkedIn.com to reach out to those in your area. Maybe put your address into GoogleMaps and "search nearby" for NP organizations (who knows how that will pan out, but it's an idea!).

This website is also helpful, but hit-or-miss on getting the responses you desire.

I am also a new NP (WHNP) and look forward to meeting with or networking in our profession. My husband and I are moving to the MD/DC area soon and I hope to find contacts in that area.

Good luck to you!

In IL, we have the IL Society of Advanced Practice Nurses - we network often. Have you considered a statewide APN organization?

Another resource is you specialty organization. I personally belong to the ENA - Emergency Nurses Asssociation. I also work in nephrology and network via conferences.
