As neonatal intensive care nurses face downsizing and/or cross-training, new opportunities are emerging for advanced practice nurses in follow-up care of neonatal intensive care unit graduates, case management, quality improvement, and community hospital care. This article identifies current issues in neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP) education as the model has shifted from hospital-based, certificate programs to graduate degree programs offered by colleges/universities of nursing. Opportunities for increasing NNP role flexibility and recommendations for bridging the transition to a 21st century education model for neonatal advanced practice nurses are also discussed. Despite the turmoil of change and uncertainty, the future for neonatal advanced practice nurses is positive. Successful nurses will master the skills of adaptability, flexibility, self-directed learning, leadership, and the provision of relationship centered care. Neonatal nursing educators must constantly monitor clinical practice and re-evaluate the curriculum to ensure the necessary knowledge and skills for successful practice can be achieved from the educational program. It is critical that faculty are cognizant of emerging trends and changing roles in the practice area. Additional learning opportunities may be required for graduates to successfully move into the next century.
随着新生儿重症监护护士面临人员精简和/或交叉培训，高级执业护士在新生儿重症监护病房毕业生的后续护理、病例管理、质量改进和社区医院护理方面出现了新的机会。本文指出了新生儿执业护士（NNP）教育中的当前问题，因为该模式已从基于医院的证书课程转变为护理学院/大学提供的研究生学位课程。还讨论了增加NNP角色灵活性的机会以及为新生儿高级执业护士向21世纪教育模式过渡提供桥梁的建议。尽管变革和不确定性带来了动荡，但新生儿高级执业护士的未来是积极的。成功的护士将掌握适应能力、灵活性、自主学习、领导能力以及提供以关系为中心的护理的技能。新生儿护理教育工作者必须不断监测临床实践并重新评估课程，以确保教育项目能够培养出成功实践所需的知识和技能。至关重要的是，教师要了解实践领域中出现的趋势和不断变化的角色。毕业生可能需要额外的学习机会才能成功迈入下个世纪。
