Advance Practice Nurses, Physicians Assistants, Registered Nurses and Physicians
Physicians naturally have the most authority over patient care and in the traditional relationship between physicians and RNs, physicians directly control and must specifically authorize the clinical responsibilities of nurses. Advanced Practice Nurses enjoy a greater degree of autonomy and make certain independent decisions within a broader range of authority granted by physicians. Individual state laws define more particularly the exact functions that APRNs are authorized to perform (NCBON, 2011). Physician assistants and Nurse Practitioners perform specific clinical medical functions traditionally reserved exclusively to physicians such as prescribing medications and performing minor medical procedures (Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 2009).

Internationally, for example, most countries do not have protected titles and there is no agreement about the use of titles to distinguish APN roles.

Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing The starting point of all current-day nursing practices is a registered nurse. The current standards and policies with respect to education and legal regulations for attaining a basic first-level nursing standard weren't always fixed.

The basis of the advanced nurses of today was established in
Professional Responsibilities The practice of nursing has continued to evolve over the years given rapid societal changes, emergence of new diseases, and constant technological developments. Since the 1900s when nursing practice was characterized by simple registry laws and mere listing of trained practitioners, the field has experienced significant evolution in attempts to meet the ever-changing needs of patients and enhance their outcomes. Currently, nursing practice is a formal practice that is
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Research, and Quality Improvement (QI) in Nursing Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Research, and Quality Improvement (QI) in Nursing PracticeAbstractThis paper differentiates Evidence-Based Practice, Research, and Quality Improvement as used in nursing. Evidence-Based Practice, Research, and Quality Improvement are considered the key to improving patient outcomes and healthcare quality (Carter et al., 2017).

Translational Research Emphasis for the last thirty years has been on shifting nursing curricula out of hospitals to universities. The education of nurses is now increasingly leaning towards theory. This has led to an obvious gap between what is experienced in the practical healthcare settings by nurses and what is taught in lecture halls (Saifan, AbuRuz, & Masa'deh, 2015). Nursing practice is just one of the areas of healthcare that is experiencing
