Chattanooga Area Nurses in Advanced Practice

02/16/2026

The new grad event last year was such a great time that we are making it an annual tradition! Please save the date for this year's new grad social on May 18th, 2026. This is a great opportunity to meet your colleagues in the community, celebrate your accomplishments, and hear some sage advice on interviewing, negotiating, and more from seasoned nurse practitioners.
While this event is targeted towards new graduate APNs, we still welcome and encourage current students and established APNs to attend as well.
Details on exact time and location will follow soon!

🚨New referral program🚨

Do you work with other nurse practitioners who are looking for a community of colleagues with whom they can connect and network? Perhaps you know a student who could use support and mentorship. Now, you can be rewarded when they join CANAP!

How it works:
- Direct your friend or colleague to the CANAP website, where they will create an account and join as a member (students, active APRNs, and retirees all qualify!)
- On each membership application, the very last question will ask the applicant if/who they were referred by (see screenshot). Here is where they should enter your FULL NAME.
- At the beginning of each month, applications will be reviewed and a $10 Starbucks e-giftcard will be sent your way for each referral!
- Referral reward applies only to new memberships, not renewals
