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.

NAPNAP - About Us - History of PNPs and NAPNAP - 2 views

  • Established in 1973, NAPNAP has been actively advocating for  children's health by: providing funding, education, and research opportunities to PNPs; and producing and distributing educational materials to parents and families.
  • There are approximately 14,000 practicing PNPs in the U.S.
  • n 1965, a nurse and a pediatrician at the University of Colorado had the vision to extend the role of the pediatric nurse in providing child health care services. They began to educate registered nurses to become PNPs by teaching them to do physical examinations, diagnose and treat patients, and assist in family counseling.

  • In May 1973, PNPs from six areas of the country met in Columbus, Ohio to explore alternatives for affiliating with nursing and medical professional organizations. The group decided PNPs could best be served by a specialty nursing organization. In September 1973, the first issue of the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, the association's newsletter, was published highlighting the outcome of this meeting and announcing the agenda for the first national meeting of PNPs. In October 1973, 400 PNP's met at this national meeting and voted unanimously to support the development of NAPNAP.

    This is a Canadian public ad campaign, defining what nurse practitioners are, what they can do, and how they can help improve quality of and access to care. It is well-made. I feel that similar campaigns in the U.S. Would help to increase public knowledge and understanding of our profession.

    This article reviews the origins of nurse-midwifery in the United States during the early decades of the 20th century and explores professional expansion between 1940 and 1950. Nurse-midwifery emerged from the vision of public health nurses, obstetricians, and social reformers concerned about high maternal and infant mortality rates at the turn of the century.
