This article does a wonderful job of providing the historical background to the pediatric nurse practitioner profession. It touches upon some of the most memorable accomplishments that were achieved both in the specialty itself and the influential role it played on the profession of nurse practitioners in all specialties. This was a very beneficial resource that I utilized for my APRN infographic!

This article is an interesting read about the policy change in North Dakota that brought independent prescriptive privileges to advanced practice nurses. The nurse leaders behind this policy change have shared the experience with other states with the goal of providing an example of an effective model of change.

An interesting article that opines about the DNP. Here's a fairly provocative quote: "When viewed together, doctorally prepared nurses do not spend the majority of their time in direct patient care, but rather in research (11%), education (32%), and administration (30%). With these demanding roles, they cannot be expected to maintain expert levels of clinical competence required for teaching APN students. While research and practice are critical components of nursing, each requires a different skill set and education."

Nice summaries with links to additional websites that may have the most current information.

This is a great article on transitioning.

Great article on NP residency programs and how they could really benefit NP grads transitioning into practice.

From this article, it acknowledges the importance of inter-professional collaboration. At the end of the residency program, NPs held a stronger appreciation for the roles of other health care professionals as well as the benefit from getting feedback from different specialties. NP fellows learned from each other's strengths and weakness and how to function as a team.

Here's a good, quick article that gives tips for the transition from RN/student to an APRN in the workplace.

Interesting (and very truthful) article on the transition into FNP and the multiple factors/challenges that come along with it..i.e. support system, surrounding environment, how an individual copes, etc. It discusses how exciting the graduate school experience can be, yet how simultaneously it can be very intimidating to enter into the "real world" of being an APRN.

This article shows how individuality in the APRN roles are critical to good patient care

about RNs more than NPs, but I think it's still relevant (especially to us accelerated students)

This article discusses how the role of the Nurse Practitioner profession has expanded around the world. They outline the "developmental progress" of the role in the United States and compare the role development of the NP to that of Erickson's developmental stages in children. Interesting read!
