At Rotterdam University in The Netherlands, the master's advanced nursing practice (ANP) program focuses on the role of the nurse practitioner (NP) and emphasizes leadership development. An international experience is compulsory and is incorporated into the leadership course. Twenty master's ANP students were surveyed before and after participating in an international exchange program. The following research questions were examined: (a) Does the international exchange program affect the vision of the NP students about their role as an NP in The Netherlands? (b) Does the international exchange program encourage students to develop the NP role? Gaining insight into a well-established NP environment can help empower Dutch NP students to create the foundations for role development to distinguish itself as an autonomous profession. An international experience fostered a new sense of pride in this relatively new ANP role in The Netherlands.
在荷兰鹿特丹大学，护理学硕士高级护理实践（ANP）项目专注于执业护士（NP）的角色，并强调领导力发展。国际交流经历是该项目的必修课，并被纳入领导力课程。20名护理学硕士ANP学生在参加国际交流项目前后接受了调查。研究了以下问题：（a）国际交流项目是否会影响NP专业学生对其在荷兰作为NP角色的认知？（b）国际交流项目是否鼓励学生发展NP角色？深入了解一个成熟的NP环境有助于增强荷兰NP专业学生的能力，为其作为一个自主职业的角色发展奠定基础。国际交流经历为荷兰这个相对较新的ANP角色带来了一种新的自豪感。
