Case histories—rich, anecdotal narratives—are theorized to support the acquisition of cognitive, social, cultural, and emotional knowledge and motor skills through active learning. This manuscript focuses on the value of case histories in teaching and evaluating acute and critical care advanced practice nursing students. Information about the use of case histories in advanced critical care education and clinical practice is limited. Case histories support student-centered learning and development of clinical reasoning. An exemplar of a case history is provided, and application of case histories to both electronic and classroom settings is explored.

This literature review was done to explore the use of master's-prepared nurse practitioners to manage critically ill patients. Data-based, anecdotal, clinical, analytic, and position papers published over the past 10 years in the medical and nursing literature were reviewed. This article synthesizes findings on the use of nurse practitioners in clinical settings including primary and specialty care settings, describes favorable outcomes of advanced practice nurses, and identifies factors that must be addressed as these roles increase in use in critical care settings. Nurse practitioners' movement into critical care settings should be undertaken. Additional federal support to ensure the preparation of these practitioners in adequate numbers is needed. Attention to issues of direct reimbursement, salaries, impact of changing role boundaries, malpractice coverage, and prescription privileges must be addressed. Research programs to examine the effect of nurse practitioners in specialized care should continue.

COVID-19 stellt die klinische Gesundheitsversorgung vor große Herausforderungen. Unspezifische Symptome, der divergente Krankheitsverlauf, eingeschränkte medikamentöse Optionen sowie die sich schnell wandelnden Erkenntnisse erschweren die intensivpflegerische Versorgung. Zusätzlich beeinflussen zusätzliche strenge Isolations- und Desinfektionsmaßnahmen den Pflegealltag. Professionelle Pflege kann und sollte nicht ohne Nähe zum Menschen stattfinden. Die Ergebnisse, Erfahrungen, Strategien und Gedanken aus unserer Arbeitsgruppe Critical Care des Deutschen Netzwerks für Advanced Practice Nursing g. e. V. über COVID-19 möchten wir aus der Expertise als APNs veröffentlichen.

Informative Text

The most important new trend in resumes is the employer-focused resume. Writing one is not difficult, but it requires a change in focus. The focus of this type of resume is on the needs of prospective employers. This new resume format allows applicants to describe to prospective employers what they can provide related to the employer’s needs as opposed to a simple listing of their academic and work experiences without relation to the prospective new job. This article provides advanced practice nurses with sources to guide construction of informative text about their advanced practice nursing skills and competencies using language familiar to employers. Resumes and curriculum vitae formats are compared, and advice is provided on developing content for either format. Guidelines are provided about listing credentials, identifying clinical proficiencies from student clinical practicum, using qualification summaries rather than an objective statement, choosing references, and including essential components in a cover letter.

BACKGROUND: Blended roles in advanced practice nursing have generated much discussion but little study. As role modifications emerge in nursing, there is a need to explore their implementation. OBJECTIVE: This descriptive study examined the experiences of nurses who were implementing blended roles as psychiatric clinical specialists and adult nurse practitioners. DESIGN: Four master of science in nursing and 10 postmasters nurses who had been practicing in blended roles for 1 to 2 years were interviewed about their experiences in implementing their roles. Interviews were tape recorded, transcribed, and content analyzed. RESULTS: Respondents believed they were practicing holistically, were able to appropriately integrate physical and psychological care of the patient, and found chronic psychiatric patients to have more complex physical illnesses than they had anticipated. In addition, the advanced practice nurses were satisfied with their roles, felt supported by their physician preceptors, and described cross-consultation with physicians and nonpsychiatric nurse practitioners. CONCLUSIONS: There are roles for advanced practice nurses who blend clinical specialist and adult nurse practitioner skills in the care of psychiatric and primary care patients.
