advanced practice nurse (APN). RNs and APNs mutually have the same mission to competently

and safely care for the patient, but their scope of practice and roles are different. A master's

education trains APNs to provide assessment, diagnose medical problems, order diagnostic tests

and equipment, and order medication prescriptions (National Council of State Boards of Nursing,

Four APN Roles

specialist (CNS), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), and certified nurse-midwife.

(CNM). Below is the description for each APN's education requirement, work environment, and

role description.

A CNP is required to complete a master's level education on advanced physical assessment,

pharmacology, pathophysiology, nursing theory, leadership, and epidemiology (AANP, ). The

first CNP program was created at the University of Colorado in 1965 by Dr. Loretta Ford and Dr.

Henry Silver, which has since inspired nurses to reach a growing CNP workforce of over

290,000 across America (American Association of Nurse Practitioners [AANP], 2020). A CNP is

qualified to practice in various settings and specialties and have special responsibilities different

from an RN but similar to activities traditionally performed by physicians (Martin-Misener, R. et
