In light of the climate of healthcare reform, the future of the traditional clinical nurse specialist is tenuous while that of the nurse practitioner is bright. The merger of these two traditional roles into a unified advanced practice nurse (APN) role is critical now for the profession of nursing, for patients and for the entire healthcare arena. The following describes how the APN will be a leader in providing health care both in the USA and internationally and a primary mover toward WHO's goal of "health for all".
鉴于医疗保健改革的大环境,传统临床护理专家的前景不容乐观,而执业护士的前景则一片光明。现在,将这两个传统角色合并为一个统一的高级实践护士(APN)角色,对护理专业、患者以及整个医疗保健领域而言都至关重要。以下内容描述了高级实践护士将如何在美国乃至国际上成为提供医疗保健服务的领导者,以及朝着世界卫生组织“全民健康”目标迈进的主要推动者。
