Advanced practice nursing, since its inception in the early 1960s, has constantly changed in an effort to establish standardized core graduate education, specialization of practice, and autonomy, now common in the 1990s. Nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and certified registered nurse anesthetists have followed in the footsteps of the clinical nurse specialist by enhancing their practice through advanced education. Nurses in these advanced areas are graduating from established programs with a master's of science in nursing and a specialty in their chosen field. The pediatric critical care nurse practitioner is one such specialty. This article highlights the results of a national survey that described pediatric critical care nurse practitioner practice over a broad geographic area. With change as a constant, nurses will look to the future of advanced practice roles, which are ever changing, and continue to provide safe, quality care to patients.
自20世纪60年代初高级实践护理诞生以来，它一直在不断变化，努力建立标准化的核心研究生教育、实践专业化和自主性，这些在20世纪90年代已很常见。执业护士、助产护士和注册护士麻醉师追随临床护理专家的脚步，通过接受高等教育来提升他们的实践水平。这些高级领域的护士毕业于既定项目，获得护理学硕士学位并在其选定领域具有专业特长。儿科重症护理执业护士就是这样一个专业领域。本文重点介绍了一项全国性调查的结果，该调查描述了广泛地理区域内儿科重症护理执业护士的实践情况。随着变化成为常态，护士们将展望不断变化的高级实践角色的未来，并继续为患者提供安全、优质的护理。
