Re: A perfect storm or the butterfly effect: Strategically innovating nurse practitioner education (with response)

摘要

The authors thank Dr. Barksdale and Ms. Werner for their response to our editorial, and we welcome the opportunity to respond to their comments. We recognize that the universe of advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) practice includes many advance practice roles, as described by Barksdale and Werner, but we deliberately chose to focus our attention on the system of clinical education as it relates to the preparation of nurse practitioners (NPs), specifically NPs being prepared to provide primary care.
