✨ Congratulations to our MCNP colleague, Dr. Monica O'Reilly-Jacob, on the publication of her latest research in Nursing Outlook!

In "The Facilitators and Barriers of Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Practice Ownership: A Qualitative Analysis,"Dr. O'Reilly-Jacob and her co-authors explore the challenges and opportunities facing nurse practitioner-owned primary care practices. The study identifies structural barriers—including reimbursement disparities, credentialing delays, limited access to capital, and administrative burdens—as well as the innovative strategies NP practice owners use to improve access to patient-centered care.

As demand for primary care continues to grow, this important research helps inform the policy changes needed to support NP-owned practices and expand access to high-quality care, particularly in underserved communities.

📣 Save the Date!

Join us for a very special evening as we celebrate the official opening of the Massachusetts Nurse Practitioner History Archives—a lasting tribute to the pioneering nurse practitioners who helped shape the profession in Massachusetts and across the nation.

🗓️ Thursday, November 5, 2026
🕔 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Simmons University Library (1st Floor)
300 The Fenway
Boston, MA

Led by Karen Wolf in collaboration with Joyce Pulcini, Patricia Rissmiller, Patricia White, and Patricia Maher, the Massachusetts Nurse Practitioner History Project has preserved the voices and experiences of the first generation of Massachusetts nurse practitioners.

The collection includes 45 oral history interviews, photographs, reports, papers, and other historical materials documenting the evolution of NP practice in Massachusetts. Expanded in 2026 to include the experiences of male nurse practitioners and nurse practitioners of color, these archives are now permanently housed at Simmons University Library and available through the Simmons University Digital Archives.

MCNP is honored to serve as the steward of this historic collection, ensuring these stories are preserved for future generations.

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate this important milestone and honor the extraordinary pioneers whose legacy continues to inspire the NP profession. Light refreshments will be served.
