Who We Are

The Coalition of Advanced Practice Nurses of Indiana (CAPNI) was formed in 1999 as a grassroots movement, bringing together local Advanced Practice Nurse groups from all over the state of Indiana. Indiana APNs felt the need to form a state level professional organization that would have as its primary focus issues affecting the advanced practice of nursing. CAPNI is dedicated to furthering the understanding and advancement of the APN role at the local and state levels, and to protecting that role in the legislative, administrative, and clinical realms.

Our membership includes active professional APNs as well as student APNs.
