Advanced Nursing Practice As Healthcare Term Paper

Internationally, for example, most countries do not have protected titles and there is no agreement about the use of titles to distinguish APN roles. Role confusion arises when the same title, such a nurse specialist is applied to different roles with varied purposes, educational preparation, and scopes of practice. As this role becomes more integrated into the framework of different societies and is better defined, it is expected that barriers among different providers will drop and healthcare better work together.
