We’re thrilled to share a major victory for Wisconsin’s advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs): Governor Tony Evers will sign the APRN Modernization Act (AB 257) into law this Friday, August 8, 2025, at 12:45 pm in the Governor’s Conference Room.

This milestone is the result of years of tireless advocacy and collaboration by nurses across the state—and we couldn’t have done it without the commitment and support of our members. Together, we’ve taken a huge step forward in improving access to care and advancing the nursing profession in Wisconsin.

 Join the Celebration!
WNA invites all members, colleagues, and supporters to celebrate this landmark achievement at our Happy Hour event:

Rigby’s Pub and Grill
 Friday, August 8th
5:00 pm
119 E Main Street, Madison, WI 53703

Come raise a glass with us as we toast to progress!

In the coming days, WNA will be sharing a virtual Legislative Update with more information about the law and what it means for APRNs across Wisconsin.

Thank you for your dedication to nursing—and for helping make this vision a reality.

— Gina Dennik-Champion and the WNA Board of Directors
