    Author: Easom AK.
    Journal: Nephrol Nurs J; 2000 Apr; 27(2):187-91. PubMed ID: 11111545.
    Abstract:
    In an attempt to identify characteristics of the nephrology APN, attendees at the January 1999 Advanced Practice/Management Seminar in Savannah, Georgia were surveyed. The results discussed focus on the 46 attendees who identified themselves as APNs. They represented 25 states and were predominately master's-prepared nurse practitioners with both CNN and advanced practice certification. Most were over 40 years old (83%) with over 16 years of nursing experience (76%), the majority (78%) were in their current APN role less than 5 years. The modal salary range was $60,000-$65,000 (30%). Further demographics, scope of practice and role satisfaction are discussed.
