3. ARTICLE: ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES (APN) AND THEIR EXPANDING ROLES

As APNs step out of the physicians' shadow and into increasingly responsible roles as health care providers, there is a heightened awareness of their value and skills, with some patients beginning to prefer their hands-on, unhurried care to that of their primary care physicians. Moreover, a great percentage of primary and preventive care can be done by a nurse at a lower cost. To read this NurseWeek article, visit:
