Advanced Practice Nursing and Conceptual Models of Nursing

Jacqueline Fawcett, Diana M. L. Newman, Margaret McAllister

Abstract

This column focuses on advanced practice nursing. A definition and central competency of advanced practice are given and four roles assumed by advanced practice nurses are identified. Questions related primarily to the advanced practice role of nurse practitioner are raised. Two nurse scholars who teach and practice discuss their experiences as advanced practice nurses, with an emphasis on the importance of using a conceptual model of nursing as a guide for their practice.
