Comparing graduates of a GNP program 12 years ago with those graduating from a recent program revealed that GNPs are now staying in their roles. This is in spite of a number of barriers to practice over the years. GNPs also are continuing to work in nursing homes. At the University of Washington, we believed that training and hiring GNPs was one way to improve the care of patients in nursing homes. Our program was designed to meet that goal. That it has been achieved is evidenced by the low turnover and the GNPs' satisfaction in their roles. States should therefore encourage nursing homes to hire GNPs, as in Washington. As the clinical arm for the director of nursing service, and working together with the physician, the GNP can improve patient care as never before.
将12年前毕业于综合护理执业者（GNP）项目的学员与近期毕业的学员进行比较后发现，如今的综合护理执业者正坚守岗位。尽管多年来存在诸多执业障碍，但他们仍在继续从事疗养院护理工作。在华盛顿大学，我们认为培训和雇佣综合护理执业者是改善疗养院患者护理的一种方式。我们的项目就是为实现这一目标而设计的。人员低流动率以及综合护理执业者对自身角色的满意度证明该目标已经实现。因此，各州应像华盛顿州那样鼓励疗养院雇佣综合护理执业者。作为护理服务主任的临床助手，并与医生合作，综合护理执业者能够以前所未有的方式改善患者护理。
