Methods:
Two e-mailed surveys of registered NPs (including qualitative and quantitative data) were conducted by the professional organization, NPNZ in 2011 and 2012.
Conclusions:
After 10 years, NPs in NZ demonstrated efficient practice and have produced measurable improved healthcare outcomes.
Implications For Practice:
NP practices are continuing to develop and are contributing to increased access to health care and improved health outcomes in NZ.
