دانلود کتاب انتقال نقش پرستار با تمرین پیشرفته موفق

The development of this book came about from an opportunity and honor to work on the preparation for the new Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) role for the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2018. As I pondered the path of becoming an advanced practice nurse and the process of role transition, I recognized that many nurses expanding their education to the APN level are already strong nurses yet are anxious about the new role of APN. This increased APN role transition stress is often related to the increased accountability, responsibility, and authority required upon entering the APN practice. Thus, understanding APN role transition, finding a deeper under­standing of who one is as an APN, becoming attached to the profession of APN, and developing the skills of each aspect of the APN role became the focus of this book. From 2014 to 2019 I developed a process which nurses can gain an understanding about self and working relationships. This process grew from my work in Guyana, South America and Rwanda, Africa. It is called the LEAP Process, which stands for “Leadership, Engagement, Accountability, and Professionalism.” As I wove the top­ics of role transition and leadership together, I recognized there needs to be an enhanced understanding of our self-concept and professional identity as APN to improve successful APN role transition. Topics of self-concept, self-efficacy, per­sonal identity, professional identity, and role transition are often not included in formal APN education. I wanted to write a book that would provide APNs the steps to build the skills needed for a successful APN role transition. It is the concepts and process of becoming our best that I want to share with all APN students, faculty, and nurses.

This book was written to guide APN students through their role transition from a generalist nurse to the APN role. To successfully accomplish this APN role transi­tional process, students need to understand first there is an evidence-based process which students experience role transition; and second there are skills and activities that can aid in the development of one’s professional identity, build a positive self-concept, and role transition with less stress.
