As nurse educators, we understand the importance of preparing new members of our profession to serve as expert caregivers, system innovators, and patient advocates. To thrive in these roles, nurses must develop as leaders in clinical settings, in boardrooms, and in all places where nurses impact healthcare, counsel patients, and shape policy. Building leadership capacity is essential to ensuring that nurses are contributing at the highest level and seizing every opportunity to safeguard patients, families, and the communities we serve.

In September 2008, more than two dozen national nursing organizations, including AACN, joined with the Tri-Council for Nursing to commission a study on the impact that advanced practice registered nurses have on healthcare quality and patient outcomes. The need for this research was driven in part by challenges from outside the profession questioning the efficacy of nurse practitioner (NP) education and practice. Led by Dr. Robin Newhouse, who recently concluded her service on the AACN Board of Directors, the resulting systematic review of the literature published from 1990-2008 found that NP-led care was equivalent to physician-centric care and typically resulted in shorter hospital stays, increased access to care, and lower costs.
