The purpose of this study was to examine the career trends of family nurse practitioner (FNP) graduates of one master's program. A questionnaire was mailed to all FNPs (N = 113) who graduated 1-11 years earlier; there was a response rate of 83%. The survey revealed that for both first and present jobs the majority were providing direct patient care as a primary care provider or practicing in an indirect role. The study findings indicate that for these graduates there is a long term commitment (demonstrated through continued employment) as well as opportunity to practice in the nurse practitioner role in a direct or indirect capacity.
本研究的目的是调查一个硕士项目的家庭执业护士（FNP）毕业生的职业发展趋势。向所有在1 - 11年前毕业的家庭执业护士（N = 113）邮寄了一份调查问卷；回复率为83%。调查显示，无论是第一份工作还是目前的工作，大多数人都是作为初级保健提供者提供直接的患者护理，或以间接角色执业。研究结果表明，对于这些毕业生来说，存在长期的职业投入（通过持续就业体现），并且有机会以直接或间接的身份担任执业护士。
