Abstract:
As the advanced practice RN (APRN) workforce rapidly expands, nursing leaders are grappling with the challenge of establishing equitable and competitive compensation models. This column explores the lessons learned by 2 pioneering APRN leaders who navigated these workforce and compensation challenges within their own healthcare organizations. By sharing their experiences building sustainable APRN infrastructure and addressing pay discrepancies, the authors provide valuable insights and strategies that can help other nursing leaders transform their APRN compensation approaches and ensure their advanced clinicians are appropriately valued and rewarded.
