During this time when the walls that divide inpatient, outpatient, primary, tertiary, and community care are coming down, society should expect that the nursing profession will prepare and regulate advanced nursing practice for the good of patient care and society as a whole. To do so, schools with clinical practice graduate programs must create a consistent product; professional credentialing bodies must use consistent criteria to acknowledge advanced practice knowledge and expertise; and state boards of nursing must give legal recognition for advanced practice to these same nurses. Within this environment, advanced practice nurses will be prepared to serve society, even if their skills are applied in a variety of roles.
在划分住院、门诊、初级、三级和社区护理的界限正在消除的这个时期，社会应该期望护理专业为了患者护理和整个社会的利益，做好准备并规范高级护理实践。为此，设有临床实践研究生项目的学校必须打造一致的培养成果；专业认证机构必须使用一致的标准来认可高级实践知识和专业技能；而州护理委员会必须给予这些同样的护士高级实践的法律认可。在这样的环境下，高级实践护士将做好服务社会的准备，即便他们的技能应用于多种角色。
