ASBN – ArNAP

Arkansas Nurses Alternative Program (ArNAP)

The Arkansas Nurses Alternative to Discipline Program (ArNAP) is an abstinence-based, non-disciplinary monitoring program, which was legislatively created in 2017(See Ark. Code Ann. 17-87-801 et seq.) to help licensed nurses and applicants for licensure, who have a drug or alcohol abuse problem, or addiction. Even though the program is voluntary, you are expected to comply with all aspects of your agreement and contract. Failure to comply with your specific requirements will result in a referral to the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN or Board). Most disciplinary actions taken by the Board are permanently reflected on your license and may affect your future abilities to obtain employment.

Measles Update: Get The Latest Measles Information Here

Measles, or rubeola, is a highly contagious, acute viral infectious disease caused by the measles virus. Some people think of measles as just a rash and fever that clears up in a few days; however, measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5-years-old.

The best protection against measles is the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection against all strains of measles.
