ANA represents the interests of all APRNs.

Explanation:

The APRNs interests include certified nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists and certified nurse midwives.

There is a national call to remove all the barriers to full practice authority from organizations  such as the Institute of Medicine, the Federal Trade Comissions, among others.  Removal of regulatory barriers is work in which te ANA and it's Constituent  have been engaged for many years.

Given the shortage of primary care physicians, allowing non-physician professionals, such as APRNs  to practice to the full extent of their education and training gives patients more options and more types of services.
