2. what concerns do you have about transitioning to the role?
3. did anything about the apn (advanced practice nursing) roles surprise you?

Answer / Explanation:

There are similarities among all Nurse Practitioners, it is also worthy to note that Nurse Practitioner are divided into different specialties and a couple of them includes: primary care, pediatrics, geriatrics, oncology and psychiatric care. To proper be focused and look forward to a new role, one would have to be specialized. At this time, i have chosen to talk about what i look forward to as a Nurse practitioner in a new role a a Primary Care nurse practitioner:

1, I understand that a primary care nurse practitioner is a generalist who work in family health clinics or hospitals. So i look forward to the time when i will be given the opportunity to  provide preventive care support, conduct check-ups and treat illnesses of both children and adults.

2, The concern i have about transitioning into this role will include how best to work with difficult patient and the physical and emotions demanding nature of the job.

3, No it did not because the major difference of an Advanced Practice Nurse is the post graduate educational qualification possessed. I believe with proper self training and on the job learning, a diligent nurse can assume the same position..
