PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine the evolution of the advanced practice role in oncology nursing and the authors' educational experiences and role transitions as they progressed through a post-master's nurse practitioner (NP) certificate program.
Professional literature and personal experiences of two experienced oncology clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).
Despite historical differences between CNS and NP roles, the authors did not subtract or detract from their CNS roles but added new skills to their established roles.
Skills that define both the NP and CNS roles must be maintained to effectively meet the current healthcare needs of patients with cancer.
Many CNSs are returning to school to obtain their NP credentials. Although assimilating new skills and knowledge into an already established professional identity was a challenging undertaking, the authors viewed the experience as essential in preparing them to meet the demands of the changing healthcare environment.
目的/目标：探讨肿瘤护理中高级实践角色的演变，以及作者在攻读护理学硕士后执业护士（NP）证书课程过程中的教育经历和角色转变。
两位经验丰富的肿瘤临床护理专家（CNS）的专业文献和个人经历。
尽管CNS和NP角色在历史上存在差异，但作者并未削弱或贬低其CNS角色，而是在既有角色基础上增添了新技能。
必须保持界定NP和CNS角色的技能，以有效满足癌症患者当前的医疗保健需求。
许多CNS正在重返校园以获得NP资质。尽管将新技能和知识融入已确立的专业身份是一项具有挑战性的任务，但作者认为这段经历对于使他们做好准备以满足不断变化的医疗保健环境的需求至关重要。
