RESUMO
Understanding the historical context and contemporary trends in advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) education and regulation is pivotal for effective professional advocacy. Until the release of the APRN Consensus Model in 2008, a uniform model for APRN regulation was lacking. Adopting the model's recommendations has implications for APRNs beyond licensure and regulation, including full practice authority, license portability, and patient access to APRN-led care. A comprehensive understanding of APRN education and regulation empowers nurses, APRNs, and stakeholders to drive the profession forward through informed advocacy.

In this month's "Magnet Perspectives," the directors of the ANCC's 6 credentialing programs introduce a new conceptual framework, outline the key concepts for exceptional nursing practice, and describe how ANCC's programs interconnect to invoke a powerful model that healthcare organizations can use to develop and sustain nursing excellence.

Registered nurses (RNs) are leaving the bedside to become advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Failure to successfully transition APRNs into clinical practice represents a substantial financial burden to healthcare organizations. Organizations can use the standards of the Magnet Recognition Program to help support, develop, and transition APRNs into their advanced practice role.

Nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) requires strategic planning and a lifelong commitment. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) not only engage in specific NCPD to meet regulatory and certification requirements, but also to expand their professional practice in other areas such as leadership and education. Collaboration between APRNs and nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners provides an opportunity for NCPD to be tailored to the specific needs of APRN students and practicing APRNs.
