The consensus model for regulation of APRNs: Implications for nurse practitioners - Rou... - 1 views

  •  
    Diverse regulatory criteria, such as variable accreditation standards, disparate certification and licensing requirements, inconsistent population foci, and scopes of practice, represent barriers to optimized APRN function within today's complex healthcare system and, ultimately, reduced access to safe, quality care for patients. The Consensus Model for APRN Regulation promises to unify APRN education, practice, and licensure, promoting greater mobility among nursing professionals. Elimination of inconsistencies in APRN licensure, education, certification, and accreditation requirements will promote greater value and mobility for the APRN within the healthcare system.

    This article explores how APRNs in the state of Iowa, as part of a state-sanctioned task force, identified barriers to practicing at the top of their licensure. Four goals to remove barriers to APRN full-scope practice were identified: 1) Create documents describing APRN roles to educate stakeholders, 2) Initiate discussion and presentations regarding APRN practice with stakeholders, 3) Form guidelines to create change in the existing institutional bylaws, and 4) Disseminate information using common language to the public using social media.

    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).
