Christensen, D. J. C. (1999). Integrating the terminology and titles of nursing practice roles: Quality, particularity and levelling. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 14(1), 4–11.
Abstract: The author reconsiders the meaning of expert, specialist and advanced practice. She proposes that they are distinctive and complementary aspects of every nursing role and suggests a set of attributes for each. Expertise is discussed in terms of the quality of performance, speciality in relation to particularity of performance, and advanced practice with regard to the level of performance.
