Advanced Practice Nursing: Essentials for Role Development  (English, Paperback, Joel Lucille A.)

Tracing the evolution of the APN role over time and including the non-clinical knowledge necessary to perform successfully in that role, the contributors succinctly explore the environment in which APNs practice, core competencies, evolving issues, challenges and basic business skills. The book, with content closely linked to the AACN/NONPF core curriculum recommendations, tackles such topics as evidence-based practice, ethical decision-making, basic teaching skills, starting a practice and practice management, court cases involving the APN, and more.
