Product Description:

The climate of health care in the United States continues to be tumultuous, with widespread calls for change. Concerns about health care costs are matched by public demands for quality, safety, efficiency, and appropriate access for all (Institute of Medicine, 2001, Sorian, 2006). Nurse practitioners (NPs) are increasingly recognized as providing a level of care comparable to physicians (Brooks, 2009), prompting the design of new models of care delivery that integrate NPs. This growing recognition of effectiveness has given rise to a myriad of new NP positions in diverse settings ranging from community-based to high-acuity critical care. Nursing educators are challenged to effectively deliver NP educational programs to meet the demand for highly skilled advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).
