Abstract

As demands in the way of healthcare delivery increase, nurse practitioners have become essential components in optimizing access to healthcare and improving outcomes around the globe. The authors recognize the vital role nurse practitioners play globally and that education, practice, and credentialing differ significantly across countries. Many countries have a wide variation in educational requirements, resulting in a lack of adequate advanced practice nursing training and regulation of practice. Additionally, many countries are experiencing increased demands in the form of emergency services, with long waiting times and severe crowding in emergency departments. Worldwide, many programs are being developed to educate advanced practice nurses on improving emergency medical care, but developing such programs is a complex process This article aims to discuss the scope of practice and roles of advanced practice nurses globally. We will also attempt to clarify and improve these global standards and discuss competencies in this role.
