In an attempt to identify characteristics of the nephrology APN, attendees at the January 1999 Advanced Practice/Management Seminar in Savannah, Georgia were surveyed. The results discussed focus on the 46 attendees who identified themselves as APNs. They represented 25 states and were predominately master's-prepared nurse practitioners with both CNN and advanced practice certification. Most were over 40 years old (83%) with over 16 years of nursing experience (76%), the majority (78%) were in their current APN role less than 5 years. The modal salary range was $60,000-$65,000 (30%). Further demographics, scope of practice and role satisfaction are discussed.
为了确定肾脏病学高级实践护士（APN）的特征，对1999年1月在佐治亚州萨凡纳举行的高级实践/管理研讨会上的与会者进行了调查。讨论的结果聚焦于46位自认为是APN的与会者。他们来自25个州，主要是拥有认证肾脏病护士（CNN）资格和高级实践认证的硕士学历护士从业者。大多数人年龄超过40岁（83%），有超过16年的护理经验（76%），大多数（78%）担任当前APN角色的时间不到5年。薪资中位数范围是60,000美元至65,000美元（30%）。进一步的人口统计学特征、执业范围和角色满意度将在文中讨论。
