AANP - Historical Timeline - 12 views

  •  
    When I typed in "APRN history" into Google, this was the first item to populate. The article is from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners website and is a timeline of significant events that have occurred over the course of APRN history. I was surprised to see that one of the first NP programs was created at Boston College. My mother is a graduate from their BSN program! The AANP was developed in 1985 and has since helped pioneer the career. Enjoy!

    In 2006, APRNS gained legal authority to write prescriptions in Georgia. It has been shown that nearly 40% of APRNS are still not writing prescriptions. Georgia is one of the most restrictive states in terms of APRN scope of practice. Policy changes are recommended to enhance the practice environment of APRNs to support the delivery of quality care
  •  
    This article discusses APRN's in Georgia and their prescriptive authority. Georgia is one of the most restrictive states regarding APRN scope of practice. After a lengthy battle, APRN's were granted prescriptive rights in 2006; although, many are still not practicing to their full scope.
  •  
    This article discusses the evolution of APRN practice in the state of Georgia, the barriers to practice, and the implications. As many of us know, the south, and Georgia specifically, is one of the most restrictive states in regards to practice.

    This article speaks to the many barriers to NP practice such as state regulations, lack of physician knowledge of scope of practice, payer policies not allowing full scope of practice, prescriptive privilege, etc. With the ACA and expanded healthcare coverage, it is necessary to address the barriers to NP practice since NPs will be essential to meeting the healthcare needs in the US over the next few years.

Journal of Pediatric Health Care - 8 views

  •  
    While this article is not specific to the FNP specialty, I find it interesting because it discusses the evolving global role of APRNs.
  •  
    This article provides a brief history of the APRN role and the advancement from a CRNA, to midwives, then to FNPs. The focus is the family nurse practitioner role. The author shows the connection with Erik Ericsson's stages of development and provides examples of how the role of the NP progressed through those stages. Examples are also provided from a world development perspective, as each country has also had to move through the same phases of development before moving on to the next. The author concludes that we (the U.S.) are still in the final stage of development (Integrity-older adult).
  •  
    This resource provides a brief history of APRN and outlines the developmental steps in advanced practice roles that can be helpful know for countries where the role of APRN are being established or growing.

Historical Perspectives on an Expanded Role for Nursing - 5 views

  •  
    This article chronicles the history of nursing and how expanding the role of nurses was initially justified. It discusses how this expanded role eventually became the role of the nurse practitioner that we are familiar with today.
  •  
    I found this article to be completely fascinating as I was almost completely unaware of the history of the APRN role. I have heard of Lillian Wald and Mary Breckenridge but didn't know the full extent of their backgrounds. I enjoyed the history provided in this article and feel that it was a perfect reading to begin my APRN transition. It provided some important information on how the role of the nurse changed and was diminished by ourselves (ANA) before being re-expanded in the 1960s with the role of the NP. I'd love to hear what others think and if you have other interesting historical articles on the background of the APRN role!
