Background:

Professional advancement programs are common in hospitals for staff recognition.
Advanced practice nurses (APNs) were historically excluded from these programs due to role novelty.
Implementing APN advancement programs can enhance retention, reduce turnover, and improve health system outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore and map existing literature on advanced practice nurse professional advancement programs.
To identify evidence regarding the criteria, characteristics, and outcomes of APN advancement programs.
To pinpoint gaps in the current literature concerning APN professional development.

Main Methods:

A scoping review methodology will be employed.
Inclusion criteria encompass studies on APNs in direct patient care roles within advancement programs.
Studies from any setting and geographical location, published in English from 1965 to present, will be considered.

Main Results:

Data extraction and presentation will be conducted by two independent reviewers.
Findings will be presented in a diagrammatic or tabular format with a narrative summary.
The review aims to synthesize evidence on program effectiveness and identify areas for future research.

Conclusions:

The review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on APN advancement programs.
Identifying gaps will inform future research and program development.
This work supports the integration and recognition of APNs within healthcare systems.
