Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Practice: Results of a 5-Year Longitudinal Study

By Ruth M. Kleinpell, RN-CS, PhD, ACNP. From Rush University College of Nursing and Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, Chicago, Ill.

The role of acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) has developed in capacity. More than 3500 advanced practice nurses have been certified as ACNPs, and the number of practice settings where these professionals work is continually expanding. Beginning in 1996, a series of surveys were conducted of nurse practitioners seeking national certification as ACNPs. What started as an attempt to gather information on the role of ACNPs evolved into a national 5-year longitudinal survey of ACNP practice. The cumulative results of the project are reported, and how the role of the ACNP was established in advanced practice nursing is discussed.

Notice to CE enrollees:
A closed-book, multiple-choice examination following this article tests your understanding of the following objectives:
  1. Describe the progression of participants involved in this acute care nurse practitioner (ACNP) study of practice
  2. Recognize the manner in which the ACNP role has evolved over the 5 years studied
