Description
Summary:Because physician hospitalists often have limited acquaintance with NP training and skill sets, a substantial challenge lies in understanding the NP scope of care, which can vary considerably.2 Although ACNP training focuses on the management of acutely ill patients across care settings including the hospital, it is only the 5th most common NP specialty area falling below family, adult, and pediatric, all of which are represented in the inpatient setting in the literature. From a practical perspective, the Consensus Model states that primary care trained NPs, adult NPs, and family NPs, are not appropriately trained to practice in an acute care realm. [...]the model goes further by stating that postgraduate programs, such as the APF, cannot fill this role for primary care trained APRNs.
