Abstract:
The concept of advanced practice nursing and the way it has been adapted to the French context are still poorly understood. It is however rooted in a long history and is based on well-established international notions. After a phase of structuring, advanced practice nurses are now being deployed across the country, with their missions, their association and their own union. Two years after the first graduations, challenges remain but the future is promising.
