Abstract:
This longitudinal study of the first cohort of APN interns provides information on aspects of the practice and on the development of their role from Singapore perspective. The APN role is a new one in Singapore, providing an opportune time to pioneer and define advanced practice nursing for the future. Longitudinal surveys will be conducted annually among this first cohort for 5 years to identify changes in role development over time. These results will be compared against those obtained from subsequent cohorts of APN interns in Singapore. Continued research into the role of the APN is needed to enhance role acceptance and development, and to ensure that the benefits of having APNs are attained.
