Abstract:
The role of advanced practice nurses (APNs) with post
baccalaureate graduate education in providing high
quality patient care is increasingly recognized around the
world. In the context of an aging population, technological
advances, and highly specialized patient care, it is vital for
nurses to be prepared for an advanced role with greater scope
of practice and complexity. In many countries, the role of
advanced practice nursing is well established while in others
it is still developing. While some countries have adopted the
American model of APN, other countries have developed its
own path in establishing the role of advanced practice nursing
based on specific legislative and local requirements.
This presentation will allow an audience to take a brief glance
at the author’s personal journey into the role of a Neonatal
Nurse Practitioner and learn about:
• APN background
• APN educational preparation and educational requirements
for APN in different countries
• APN scope of practice
• APN specialties
•Comparison of the APN role in different countries
