Our readings this week focus on advanced practice roles that include blended roles of the CNS and NP, the CNM and the CRNA. In addition, you have had the opportunity to consider evolving and innovative roles that are emerging.
For this question, select a specialty, other than those discussed in our readings, that you think is in some stage of evolution toward advanced practice or has the potential to evolve. Conduct an internet search (including the online library as well as specialty organizations) and discuss the following:
1. What is the current stage in the specialty’s evolution? 2. What do you see as reasons why the specialty has the potential to evolve? 3. What are the advantages and disadvantages for the specialty in evolving to the advanced practice level? Justify your answers using examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers concerning whether you agree or disagree with their views. No word count but doe need to be in APA format and citations and references.
