| Abstract |
The particular, contemporary meanings ascribed to “advanced nursing practice” in New Zealand have been debated and delineated in the 1990s, culminating in the launch of the nurse practitioner role at a conference sponsored by the Ministry of Health and the Nursing Council of New Zealand in August, 2001. Drawing on archival materials, documents, other texts and voices, this article explores the evolution of connotations and meanings of the word “advanced” as applied to nursing in New Zealand. The focus is on clinical practice, research, teaching, consulting, higher education, and advancement of the profession. Historical aspects of advancement in New Zealand nursing are examined, including registration, unsupervised practice, technical specialisation, and career development. |

| Abstract |
This article reports the implementation of a collaborative project undertaken to monitor and improve the effectiveness of the prescribing practicum papers delivered within two Master's degree programmes in advanced nursing practice. The recent introduction of Nurse Practitioner registration in New Zealand has resulted in the development of a number of Master's degree programmes in which students can complete a Nursing Council of New Zealand approved programme for prescribing. For the study, a developmental action research approach was used. Data were collected through interviews with practicum students, their medical supervisors and academic staff. Formative findings were progressively used to refine delivery of the practicum papers and a thematic analysis of summative findings identified areas for further improvement. The findings suggest that the processes being implemented are developing well. The researchers recommend that further education is required to clearly differentiate medical and advanced nursing roles. They recommend that greater attention needs to be paid to the preparation of medical supervisors and, most significantly, revision of funding is required to more equitably support the ongoing development of nurses for advanced practice roles. |

Psychiatric Nursing; Nurse practitioners; Evaluation research; Professional competence |
| Abstract |
The author describes his experience of five years as a nurse practitioner in mental health at Waikato District Health Board. A recent review of the role gave him the opportunity to reflect on the learning associated with assuming the nurse practitioner role. A key area of learning has been in negotiating the shifting responsibilities and changing relationships associated with his role as an nurse practitioner and also as a Responsible Clinician, a role traditionally held by psychiatrists. The Responsible Clinician role is a statutory one under the Mental Health Act (1992), generally performed by psychiatrists but open to other suitably qualified professionals. He reports the results of a review based on feedback from fellow professionals, clients and their families, along with quantitative data from basic statistics connected to the role, such as a time and motion study. The review asked fellow professionals to rate the performance of the nurse practitioner against the Nursing Council competencies. These results indicate the nurse practitioner role is of some value and that other professionals and clients seem satisfied with the role. There is some evidence it is delivering outcomes acceptable to clients and other professionals. The study has many limitations which are discussed, such as a poor response rate and short time frame. Further research is planned to evaluate this role. |

| Abstract |
A clinical audit was undertaken to assess the diagnostic skills of the nurse colposcopist measuring colposcopy: histology: cytology correlation. At National Women's Health the first New Zealand nurse colposcopist training programme was developed in 2000. A retrospective audit of the colposcopy clinical records was performed during the nurse's training programme between July 2000 and March 2002. An 82% (82/100) histology: cytology: colposcopy correlation was achieved by the nurse in the third phase of her training programme. The results are comparable with other reported studies involving medical and nurse colposcopists. Expertise in colposcopy examination can be incorporated into the broader role of a Nurse Practitioner working in the area of women's health. |
