In the last decade, change in the health sector has often seemed to deny and thwart the professionalism and expertise of nurses. However, in the first half of 1998, a number of positive initiatives have come to fruition, which support the development of clinical and educational structures for advanced practice nursing in New Zealand. Within one month of each other the Nursing Council published its framework for post-registration nursing education, and the Nurse Executives of New Zealand published a proposal for the development of advanced practice roles: clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner. This article will explore these initiatives, and will examine the proposed clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner roles in light of experience in the United States in developing advanced or expanded nursing practice.
在过去十年中,卫生部门的变革似乎常常否定和阻碍护士的专业性和专业技能。然而,在1998年上半年,一些积极的举措取得了成果,这些举措支持了新西兰高级实践护理的临床和教育结构的发展。在彼此相隔不到一个月的时间里,护理委员会公布了其注册后护理教育框架,新西兰护士行政人员公布了一份关于发展高级实践角色的提案:临床护理专家和执业护士。本文将探讨这些举措,并根据美国在发展高级或扩展护理实践方面的经验,审视提议的临床护理专家和执业护士角色。
