  • Title: Advanced nursing practice in New Zealand: 1998.
    Author: Jacobs S.
    Journal: Nurs Prax N Z; 1998 Nov; 13(3):4-12. PubMed ID: 10481652.
    Abstract:
    In the last decade, change in the health sector has often seemed to deny and thwart the professionalism and expertise of nurses. However, in the first half of 1998, a number of positive initiatives have come to fruition, which support the development of clinical and educational structures for advanced practice nursing in New Zealand. Within one month of each other the Nursing Council published its framework for post-registration nursing education, and the Nurse Executives of New Zealand published a proposal for the development of advanced practice roles: clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner. This article will explore these initiatives, and will examine the proposed clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner roles in light of experience in the United States in developing advanced or expanded nursing practice.
