Nursing Professional Achievement Program (NPAP)
The Nursing Professional Achievement Program recognizes accomplishments of nurses beyond their basic job duties. Nurses must meet essential criteria including educational level, years in specialty area, and years of service at Children’s of Alabama.
There are four tracks available:

Within each track, there are four levels of achievement. Nurses and NPs submit a portfolio containing documentation of completed activities in six categories.
- Continuing Education
- Leadership
- Education (education provided by the applicant)
- Quality Improvement
