Other characteristics that define APRNs include those whose practice builds on registered nurses’ experience by depicting a greater depth of knowledge. Taking this into consideration, this paper explores the APN roles,  factors that influenced the choice for CNP role, plans for clinical practice as well as role transition.

Four APN Roles

There are four distinct APN roles. These include the certified nurse practitioner (CNP), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), clinical nurse specialist (CNS),  as well as certified nurse-midwife (CNM). The certified nurse practitioner (CNP), is the advanced practice nurse that works in specialty areas such as pediatric, family practice, and women’s health among others. CNP can provide direct primary care as well as acute care (Coombs, 2015). They can also diagnose as well as treat patients. Their level of autonomy and scope of practice varies from one state to another. The educational preparation includes a master’s degree or a doctorate in nursing.

Secondly, the CNS  role includes integration of care by consulting with the nurses, healthcare system to improve practices and patient outcomes, as well as the provision of the direct patient (Ko, Burson, & Mianecki, 2019).
