Support the Future of Our Profession—Precept a Student! 📚

MCNP regularly receives requests from graduate students and faculty seeking clinical placements. Unfortunately, many programs offer little to no support, leaving students to find preceptors on their own.

Whether you're ready to take on a student or simply considering it, we encourage you to take the leap. Our profession depends on it!

If you're an MCNP member, you can:
✅ Update your member profile to be listed as a potential preceptor
✅ View students currently seeking placements

📊 New research highlights the strong safety record of Nurse Practitioners!

A national study published in JAANP (June 2025) found that despite the growing number of NPs delivering patient care, the percentage of malpractice claims involving NPs has remained flat over the past decade and remains remarkably low overall.

✅ As the NP role continues to expand, these findings reinforce the high quality and safety of NP-provided care.

☀️ July is UV Safety Awareness Month — A Perfect Time for NPs to Promote Sun Safety!

As Nurse Practitioners, we play a vital role in educating patients about preventing skin cancer and minimizing UV-related skin damage.

Did you know?
👉Most skin cancers are caused by UV exposure—and much of this damage is preventable.
👉Even one blistering sunburn in childhood can double melanoma risk later in life.

💡 July is the perfect opportunity to:
✅ Remind patients during visits about daily sun protection habits
✅ Counsel on proper use of broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen
✅ Encourage regular skin checks and early dermatology referrals

🌞 Quick Patient Education Tips:
• Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outdoors; reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming or sweating.
• Wear protective clothing, hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
• Seek shade—especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.

Let’s work together to reduce the burden of skin cancer through prevention and early detection!
