Welcome to Nurses For LIFE 
NAPN is a not-for-profit organization uniting nurses who seek excellence in nurturing for all, including the unborn, newborn, disabled, mentally and or/physically ill, the aged and the dying.
Beginning in 1973, when abortion was accepted as a legal alternative to pregnancy, healthcare professionals have been confronted by an ever-increasing number of morally challenging life issues.
The list of ethical dilemmas continues to grow: in vitro fertilization, cloning, fetal experimentation, organ donation and transplantation, nutrition and hydration, patient rights, certain sterilization practices, looming rationing of medical resources, assisted suicide and euthanasia, and stem cell research with its promise of advances in the treatment of disease.
No one is more affected by these morally challenging issues than the nurse and the pressure to utilize unethical techniques and practices in the care of patients is increasing.
Through a united,educational, professional organization such as NAPN, nurses can, in good conscience, deliver the best possible patient care while preserving, protecting and defending respect for human life.

Check out this Note from Former NAPN Winner!
My name is Chaunie, and I'm a proud former recipient of the NAPN's scholarship for nursing students, which I was awarded in 2007. My scholarship came at a time in my life when all hope seemed lost--I had just discovered I was pregnant, as a twenty-one-year-old college student, unmarried, and still taking my laundry home to my parents every weekend.
After I received your scholarship, a ray of hope entered my life. I worked harder than ever, starting a support group for student parents, landing a job with Feminists for Life, and graduating with honors with my BSN a mere week before delivering my daughter.
Your scholarship provided me with the help I needed--and now I am asking for your support in helping other young mothers like me through my book, Tiny Blue Lines: A Guide for Young Moms.
As you may know, the lack of support I found has a consequence. According to the Guttmacher Institute, women in their twenties make up half of all abortions worldwide. Women like me, who face unplanned pregnancies in their twenties, are turning to abortion out of a lack of support.
My book works to change that. With hopeful and humorous stories from me, and other young mothers like me who have chosen life and succeeded, Tiny Blue Lines will empower and equip young women to choose life. Tiny Blue Lines is the first book of its kind to reach out the one million young women each year in the United States who have unplanned pregnancies. With realistic and practical advice on telling the parents, getting through pregnancy during college, and finding a job, my book goes beyond surviving unplanned pregnancy and into embracing young motherhood for the gift it is.
This is the book that will change the face of young motherhood.
As a national speaker, writer, and labor and delivery nurse, I have dedicated my life to empowering young women like me in their journeys as mothers, students, and professionals. I ask you to join me in supporting young mothers by reviewing the attached proposal for Tiny Blue Lines and pledging your commitment to the book alongside of many other pro-life leaders.
