The world is awakening to the role of the advanced practice nurse (APN), and what APN's can do to improve the health of the people of the countries they serve. It is an exciting time!The Health Policy (HP) Subgroup of the International Council of Nurses Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse Network (ICN NP/APN Network) is committed to helping countries, jurisdictions, and institutions introduce, implement, and extend the APN role wherever possible. The HP Subgroup has been very productive over the years, gathering, analyzing, and disseminating global APN data several times. Studies have been devoted to understanding APN roles, titling, regulation, education, credentialing, and practice around the world. The subgroup is now in the process of creating a toolkit to assist in role development in all the settings stated above. |
