During 1974, 29 pediatric nurse associates and 15 pediatric nurse associate trainees worked in the child health care system of the New York City Department of Health. All of these nurse associates, formerly public health nurses from the Department of Health, were trained in a one-year, intensive, closely supervised didactic and clinical course. Within the child health units the nurse associates assumed clinical roles in the care of well and sick preschool children according to the written guidelines and protocols of the Department. In addition, they continued to function in the traditional role of the public health nurse for their own patients, rendering counseling, referral, and follow-up services as indicated. Physicians acted as consultants to the pediatric nurse associates. Comparisons are made between pediatric nurse associate-physician staff versus public health nurse-physician staff in terms of productivity and cost.
1974年期间，29名儿科护士助理和15名儿科护士助理学员在纽约市卫生部的儿童保健系统工作。所有这些护士助理以前都是卫生部的公共卫生护士，他们参加了为期一年的强化培训课程，该课程有严格的监督，包括理论教学和临床实习。在儿童保健单位内，护士助理根据卫生部的书面指南和规程，在照顾健康和患病学龄前儿童方面承担临床职责。此外，他们继续为自己的患者发挥公共卫生护士的传统作用，根据需要提供咨询、转诊和随访服务。医生担任儿科护士助理的顾问。在生产率和成本方面，对儿科护士助理 - 医生工作人员与公共卫生护士 - 医生工作人员进行了比较。
