This is an article that discusses possible frameworks for phases of transition from student RN to becoming an FNP. With the limited research that has been done in the area it is difficult to know exactly how to support students in their transition to be a provider, but this is a foundation which can be built upon.

This article is about a study that sought to describe the process necessary for a successful transition of the student nurse to a professional, as well as what kind of support system enables this progression. It focused more on what was more likely to aid in a student's success. One of the study's implications was the importance of an overall support system with specific concern for appropriate training for those who provide direct clinical education.

Exploring the transition from registered nurse to family nurse practitioner.

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.

J Am Acad Nurse Pract. 2010 Jul;22(7):356-60. doi: 10.1111/j.1745-7599.2010.00522.x. This is a useful article written by one of my former professors at Johns Hopkins. I think it provides great insight into transitioning process of becoming an APRN. This article outlines the important areas in which to consider when accepting and working at your first job as an APRN. It compliments the panel today very well.

The article provides a good comprehensive timeline of the history of Advanced Practice Nurse specialties.

This article discuss greater demand for NPs in the future as independent providers.

This is a timeline from the AANP on the history of our profession.

This site details the history of NP programs and how they were developed. it also provides detailed information about specialty programs and how/why they were started.

Briefly describes how GNP is no longer continued since 2014, and that GNP can only be renewed by those who already obtained the GNP. AGNP combines both adults and geriatric population. This is ironic because ANCC still recognizes that there are needs for providers who specializes in our geriatric population just like how pediatrics, but they discontinued GNP.

Interdisciplinary Teamwork article

Interdisciplinary team work is a complex process in which different types of staff work together to share expertise, knowledge, and skills to impact on patient care. Despite increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary team work over the past decade, in particular the growth of interdisciplinary education [ 1], there is little evidence as to the most effective way of delivering interdisciplinary team work [ 2].

I really liked this article because it focused on crisis resource management in Emergency Medicine. Seven perceived barriers to effective team performance in the ED were listed with the number one barrier being communication between disciplines. Further, of 81 (nurses, physicians, and residents) 100% felt that effective communication and effective leadership were very important team management skills that could effect the outcome of a resuscitation. Additionally, the number one contributing factor to adverse resuscitation outcomes was poor communication (96.2% out of 79 participants). Though other barriers and contributing factors to adverse outcomes were identified, communication was reported as the most contributory. Coming from an emergency room myself, I totally love the aspect of interdisciplinary collaboration. In resuscitation you are working with the physician, the nurses, the techs, pharmacy, the lab, the radiology department--and following a successful resuscitation, you are collaborating with the intensivist/pulmonolgist, cardiologist, and potentially other specialists, as well as the ICU staff members. The patient is relying on effective communication and collaboration to obtain the best outcome possible. And this communication and collaboration is not the sole responsibility of the provider, but EVERYONE on the team!

This article talks about keeping a personal relationship between patients, families, communities and primary care providers.When caregivers, patients, and sometimes family caregivers meet, it offers the whole group an opportunity to share useful educational information with patients and families in both static and dynamic ways.

Created October 28, 2007 by Sarah M. Lawrence and Michael O'Brien Health care is an increasingly diverse field where many specialties interact to provide patient care. The team approach to caring for patients includes many professionals performing a variety of specialized functions designed to meet the physical, emotional and psychological needs of the patient.

The author figures out the challenges in interdisciplinary teamwork among healthcare providers. These challenges are worth attention if we hope to do well in interdisciplinary teamwork.

This article discusses how interdisciplinary teamwork is experienced at three levels: healthcare professionals, patients, and healthcare organizations.

The points made by the author - reaching decisions collectively, making sure everyone is committed to the same purpose and goal, full participation, understanding the work of other disciplines - can be applied in any type of teamwork setting for successful outcomes. However, with healthcare the author points out that effective teamwork can lead to decreasing health care costs, improved patient safety, and decreasing workload through shared responsibilities. All areas that can allow for better patient care and more efficient use of time and financial resources.
