Nurse Practitioners: Shaping the Future of Health Care - Evolution - 0 views

  • A major factor that supported the development and evolution of the Nurse Practitioner role in the 1960s was lack of access to health services. The American public’s struggles to gain access to primary care and preventive services are certainly nothing new, and this need crosses socioeconomic lines.
  • Certification programs that focused on training the practitioner to work in a specific field followed specialization, and were sometimes tied to state licensure requirements.
  • By the early 1980s, nurse practitioner education moved into graduate programs and by 1981, most states required graduate degrees for nurse practitioner practice.  In response to the scientific knowledge explosion, programs kept adding new courses, expanding their length and their credit loads. By the turn of the 21st century, most nurse practitioner programs credit hours far exceeded those in other graduate programs. At the same time there was a growing movement towards practice doctorates in other professions and this led educators to think about new types of nurse practitioner programs. By 2005, the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) became the newest level of practitioner training, giving credit for the breadth of content in the nurse practitioner programs.

    This is a nice synopsis of key moments in history that have triggered the growth and development of the NP role in the US.

New law lets nurse practitioners get more involved - 1 views

  •  
    This article shares an experience of an NP in Nevada who had been trying to care for patients in under served areas but was having difficulty finding MDs to sign agreements with in those areas. This inhibited her ability to treat people in need but, thankfully, a new law was passed July 1 that enabled her to treat these people to the full extent her education taught her to, without having to rely on an agreement with an MD. It is important for us to remain aware of our scope of practice but also to fight for our ability to practice to the full extent we're being taught to do.

Acquisition and Maintenance of Competencies Through Simulati... : Advances in Neonatal ... - 0 views

  • Neonatal nurse practitioners from novice to expert attend a didactic review of high-risk, low volume occurrences (such as recognition and treatment of various cardiac arrhythmias and utilization of a defibrillator in an emergency situation), followed by a procedure lab where participants can demonstrate mastery of all technical skills
  • 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 will review the evidence supporting simulation, define the core elements of health care simulation, describe the bodies that regulate advanced practice nursing, identify the principle areas in which neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) must maintain proficiency and expertise, and illustrate how simulation is utilized in acquisition, maintenance and competency evaluation for NNPs

Meeting the Needs of New Graduate NPs - 7 views

  •  
    The transition of newly graduated nurse practitioners (NPs) into practice can be challenging for the employer and the NPs. A new-graduate residency model for NPs along with evaluative criteria is presented from a primary care setting. Residency models are of benefit for new-graduate NPs to ease the transition to practice and promote patient care quality, and nurse retention, and satisfaction.
