A great example from another state (Ohio). This is a large literature review research study they conducted in an effort to influence policy change and broaden APRN scope of practice in the state.

I found this research article enlightening on Physician's views and APRN's views on the APRN's role and scope of practice in the primary care setting. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine published an article that stated "advanced practice registered nurses should be able to practice to the full extent of their education and training." The link I posted givens results to a survey given randomly to Physicians and APRNs working in direct patient care on how they view they scope of practice of APRNs.

This article discusses the current issue of supply and demand in healthcare. At a time with a shortage of primary care providers, it is important for nurse practitioners to be able to practice to their fullest extent in order to bridge the healthcare gap.

J Prof Nurs. 2011 May-Jun;27(3):161-7. doi: 10.1016/j.profnurs.2011.02.004. This is the article on the importance of mentorship as a novice NP transitions from school into practice.

This is research article discussing if the "residency" programs that are starting to pop up for new grad APRNs are helpful. I found this interesting because we briefly discussed the residency positions during the new job panel.

This article talks in depth about the position statement from NAPNAP on the scope of practice for Acute Care PNP.

History of PNP-AC and commentary on the evolving role of PNPs in practice

An overview of the new regulations that states have now that PNP-AC is recognized with it's own board certification.

This is a great systematic review that delves into state by state regulations on scope of practice for APRNs and how restrictive practice ultimately reduces access to healthcare particularly in rural populations. The impact of the ACA and shortage of PCPs to meet this demand is also explored. Enjoy!

This article takes an in depth look at the history of the NNP role in the Unites States. It was the only free article that I could find and provided ample information about the history of the specialty. Thanks Cheri for your initial post of this article earlier in the week, it was extremely helpful.

This is a good site for learning how to get through school and get that first job. Written by NPs in the field. It was also helpful to know how NPs fell during their first year out of school as well!

This article discusses the role of preceptorship in preparing APRNs for their future professional roles. The article describes preceptorship as a liminal spaces that the student moves through in the process of becoming a professional.

This article discusses the stressors that a novice NP may face in providing quality care. Many programs provide adequate content and clinical exposure, but mentorship may be an effective strategy for novice NPs to transition into the role of a competent healthcare provider.
