The Georgia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recently established a companion organization to the Chapter, the Georgia Pediatric Nurses Association (GPNA). 

GPNA will provide educational and networking opportunities for pediatric nurses and other clinical staff in our members’ offices.   

All RNs and LPNs in Georgia are eligible for membership in GPNA.  Other clinical staff members (physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, certified nurse assistants, etc.) are invited to attend biannual educational meetings.

Dues for joining GPNA are $ 35.00 per year.  Benefits of GPNA include discounted registration fees for biannual meetings, networking with peers and continuing education. 

For an additional $ 35.00 per year, nurses can also become members of the Georgia Chapter/AAP as an Associate member.  This entitles he/she to additional benefits like Chapter newsletters, directories, discounts to chapter meetings and much more.  An additional application is not required for Georgia Chapter/AAP membership for GPNA members, you only need to check the box on the GPNA application.
