This article is about how important it is to articulate your role as a nurse. I love how they explain articulating your role as a nursing competency. I think this is a great article for this class as we learn what the APRN role is and how to articulate it to our inter professional teams. Nurse Educ Pract. 2013 Nov;13(6):519-23. doi: 10.1016/j.nepr.2013.02.014. Epub 2013 Mar 18.

The following is the abstract as stated by the author: "Purpose: To describe factors that ensure a smooth transition from nurse practitioner (NP) student to independent NP during the first year of practice. Data sources: Two contrasting case examples, the authors' experiences, and selected professional literature. Conclusions: Key points to consider upon searching or taking a first NP job include patient, colleague, and clinic factors. Patient factors include mix of patient presentations, complexity of patient presentations, insurance status, and population. Colleague factors include mentorship, charting, mix of providers, and availability of providers. Perhaps most importantly, clinic factors include productivity expectations, practice mission, charting systems, on-call requirements, supervision of other staff, and teaching status. Together, these factors can largely determine whether an NP's days are satisfying or frustrating in a new job. Implications for practice: The transition from NP student to independent NP can be daunting. Although nursing schools and practice sites have responsibilities to ensure the transition is smooth, the new NP is ultimately responsible for the transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]"

practitioners are then placed in multidisciplinary teams and undergo several advanced level simulations followed by video-debriefing sessions which allow for further evaluation of their knowledge base, critical thinking, leadership and communication abilities, team performance, and technical skills performance in critical situations.

This article discusses the external and internal stressors a novice nurse practitioner will experience in the first few years of his, or her, career. It then discusses the four phases that an NP can expect to endure as they become more confident in the field. Many stressor come from aspects of the job that include billing, referrals and even ownership of ones role as a primary care provider. This piece offers mitigation to the previous stressors with the introduction of a mentor.

My intended area of practice is in HIV nursing. In my last post I provided a link to the competencies needed to be an advanced practice nurse in the field, and I talked a little bit about steps I'm taking to close that gap. To hopefully move me along the continuum from novice to expert. I thought this article was interesting and provided a broader approach in how nurses might use residency program for exactly that purpose. The article talks about DNPs but it is no different for the MSN prepared nurse. It seems that residencies may become more the norm in the future - and that might be good for all, new nurses and patients alike.

This article describes past and current barriers to APRN prescribing abilities in the state of Georgia. While legislation has been passed in the state to allow APRN's to prescribe medications to their patients under a collaborating physician, Georgia remains one of the most restrictive states for APRN prescribing. A descriptive study was conducted to analyze the efficacy and safety of APRN prescribing and found that out of approximately 8000 prescriptions written by APRNs, only 0.003% of those were changed by the supervising physician. The study recommended that more data be collected to support the argument for full-prescriptive authority for APRNs in Georgia.

APRN Scope policy advocacy legislation toolkit federal state AANP legislator expand

shared by quinnjuliac on 30 Aug 17 - No Cached

quinnjuliac on 30 Aug 17

This is a toolkit from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners that APRNs can use to stay connected to legislative efforts that impact their profession. "Policy" can be a very overwhelming idea, particularly to someone who does not have experience with that realm of healthcare, so the AANP breaks it down for you. There are issue briefs on things like Full Practice Authority and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs. These briefs give you the bullet points on why the policy is good or bad for our patients and evidence supporting that position. There's other resources as well that can help you find your legislators, find out about federal and state legislation, and get connected to legislative advocacy initiatives in your state. Participating in the legislative process is a really important way that APRNs can advocate for our patients, and this resource will support you in engaging with it.

This 2016 article provides a brief overview of progress made in expanding APRN scope of practice to utilize a practitioner's education to the fullest extent. Although the removal of barriers to scope of practice is progressing, there is still much work ahead. This article recommends that to meet our goals, we must encourage other HCPs, policy makers, etc. that investing in our profession, i.e. becoming stakeholders, is a necessity to optimize health care practice.

This article details the researchers' efforts to describe the ability of nurse practitioners to reduce health disparities. By reviewing the literature, the researchers were able to create a "Nurse Practitioner Health Disparities Model" that outlines the many factors that influence a NP's ability to reduce health disparities. Outside actors, such as policymakers and insurance companies, can also influence the ability of nurse practitioners to reduce health disparities. Thus, the model is a useful tool in promoting full practice for APRNs.

A very interesting article going in detail on the expansion of the role of advanced nurse practitioners and the potential rewards and risks associated with it. There is a shortage of primary care providers. Pondering upon the topic of role expansion brings about the important consideration of liability but also has a positive side that includes being able to provide primary care to more people. This article brings up great discussion points.
