Every day, PAs across Nebraska are the first to notice when something isn't right — with a patient, a coworker, or a friend. This September, NAPA is joining the global effort to prevent su***de by starting with something simple: a conversation.

Asking someone directly if they're struggling doesn't plant the idea. It opens a door.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. It's free, confidential, and available 24/7.

To every PA carrying the weight of others' hard days: your well-being matters too. Reach out. Reach in.

Twenty-five years.

On September 11, 2001, firefighters, police officers, paramedics and EMTs climbed toward danger while everyone else was trying to get out. Many of them never came back down.

Today NAPA joins the country in honoring them, the nearly 3,000 lives lost, and the families who have carried that morning with them ever since.

We remember.

NAPA wants YOU! 🫵

Every month NAPA features Nebraska PAs and PA students on social media, and the best spotlights come from members who know someone doing great work. A colleague who goes the extra mile for patients. A preceptor who changed how you practice. A student who is already making a mark.

Nominate them at nebraskapa.org/nominate-a-pa and NAPA will take it from there.

Nebraska is one of 26 states that have enacted the PA Licensure Compact. 🎉

Once the compact is fully operational, eligible PAs will be able to apply for a privilege to practice in other member states instead of starting a separate license application in each one. Compact privileges are projected to become available in early 2027. In the meantime, keep your Nebraska license active and unencumbered so you are ready on day one. NAPA will share updates as the Compact Commission finalizes fees and the application process.

Save the date — NAPA Lobby Day is coming to Lincoln!

The Nebraska Academy of PAs will host state senators for a legislative breakfast on Tuesday, March 9, 2027 at Billy's Restaurant in Lincoln.

This is your chance to meet with your elected officials face to face and share the vital role PAs play in providing quality care across Nebraska. Legislators hear from a lot of people. They should be hearing from PAs.

Before heading to the Capitol, NAPA and our lobby team will offer an issue briefing at 9 AM at Zulkoski Weber's office, 725 S 14th St. You will walk in prepared and know exactly what to say.

There is no fee to attend. Registration details are coming soon!

A federal student loan update for Nebraska PA students!

A Department of Education rule would have moved PA programs out of the professional degree borrowing tier. After American Academy of Physician Associates and PAEA challenged it in federal court, the Department issued guidance recognizing PA programs as professional degree programs while the court's order stands.

Encouraging, but not final. The case is still ongoing, and students should check with their financial aid office about their own eligibility.

Meet Stephane VanderMeulen, DMSc, MA, PA-C, one of NAPA's House of Delegates Representatives.

Stephane brings a rare combination of local roots and national reach to the role. Here in Nebraska, she previously served as Co-Chair of NAPA's Legislative and Government Affairs Committee and as NAPA's formal liaison to the Nebraska Board of Medicine and Surgery, giving her a close-up view of the regulatory and legislative issues shaping PA practice across the state.

Nationally, she served as President of the Physician Assistant Education Association, representing more than 200 accredited PA programs, and testified before a U.S. Congressional subcommittee to secure Title VII funding for PA programs and students. She has also worked alongside leaders at American Academy of Physician Associates, ARC-PA, and National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) to modernize PA practice and remove administrative barriers.

Her approach to the House of Delegates starts with listening. Stephane is committed to hearing the varied viewpoints of Nebraska PAs, educators, and students so that this state stays a prominent and respected voice in national policy conversations.

Welcome to the board, Stephane!
