The role of the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner has been evolving since the early 1970s. The original concept and design was born out of individual hospital's needs for highly professional and skilled personnel at the bedside. Thus, initial programs were hospital-based and granted certificates. Over the past 20 years, a gradual shift toward graduate degrees and standardization of programs has been seen. The role and responsibilities of the neonatal nurse practitioner have also expanded over that time period. From their strictly clinical beginnings, neonatal nurse practitioners now contribute to research, nursing and medical education, and administration. This article looks at the neonatal nurse practitioner role and the impact that education and legislation have had on its evolution.
自20世纪70年代初以来，新生儿执业护士的角色一直在不断演变。最初的概念和设计源于个别医院对床边高度专业和技术熟练人员的需求。因此，最初的项目是以医院为基础并颁发证书的。在过去20年里，逐渐出现了向研究生学位和项目标准化的转变。在此期间，新生儿执业护士的角色和职责也有所扩大。从最初严格的临床工作起步，新生儿执业护士现在还参与研究、护理和医学教育以及管理工作。本文探讨了新生儿执业护士的角色以及教育和立法对其演变所产生的影响。
