Hope some of you get this journal:December 2008The Specialty Debate PAs Have Questions; NPs Have AnswersAbout mid way of the article:NPs: Non-regulated Specialties... Am I reading this right? A consensus model for APRN regulation? Reciprocity of some type for going from state to state? States bowing out of regulating specialties?

Advanced Practice Columnist / Guide juan de la cruz, MSN, RN, NP 9 Articles; 4,338 Posts Specializes in APRN, Adult Critical Care, General Cardiology. Has 31 years experience.

It's an interesting document that gives a vision of the future of APN's particularly addressing confusion in terms of NP training or education, regulation, accreditation, and licensure.

The model, as its subtitle indicates, outlines the role of an APRN (which includes certified registered nurse anesthetists, certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and certified nurse practitioners), as well as the six population foci in which an APRN may choose to be educated".....
