Nurses collaborate in a variety of settings. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of each type of graduate nurse will encourage collaborative relationships.

Directions:

Choose and explain a specialty that has evolved in a different direction than advanced practise nursing (e.g., informatics, administration, and health policy; encourage students to identify others as well).
What key differences do you see between this evolution and developed APN specialties?
Describe the future vision and goals for each role, as well as how they relate to emerging healthcare trends and needs.
