Nancy Sharp, MSN, RN, FAAN, ANNA member and past president, is the namesake for the Sharp Cutting Edge Award, an annual award presented by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) to a nurse practitioner (NP) who has shown leadership through innovative services, technologies, or advocacy activities that advance NP practice and patient care on a national level. AANP established the award in 1996 to honor Nancy’s support of the NP role and leadership in national nursing organizations. As AANP approaches the award’s 25th anniversary in 2021, the organization interviewed Nancy about a career dedicated to fostering nursing leadership, service, and advocacy.
