“…However, healthcare needs are not always geographically bound, nor are the needs of professionals who sometimes must move for personal or professional reasons. Numerous authorities indicate this lack of standardization limits the ability of APNs to meet unmet healthcare needs, collaborate across borders, partake in scholarly exchanges with a common language, or participate in dependable and consistent research on the profession or the outcomes of care [ 27 28 29 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Several subgroups of the International Council of Nurses Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse Network (ICN NP/APNN) have periodically analyzed APN (nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist) development around the world. The primary objective of this study was to describe the global status of APN practice regarding scope of practice, education, regulation, and practice climate. An additional objective was to look for gaps in these same areas of role development in order to recommend future initiatives. Methods: An online survey was developed by the research team, and included questions on APN practice roles, education, regulation/credentialing, and practice climate. The study was launched in August 2018 at the 10 th Annual ICN NP/APNN Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Links to the survey were provided there and via multiple platforms over the next year. Results: Survey results from 325 respondents, representing 26 countries, were analyzed through descriptive techniques. Although progress was reported, particularly in education, results indicated the APN profession around the world continues to struggle over titling, title protection, regulation development, credentialing, and barriers to practice. Conclusions and Practice/Policy Relevance: APNs have the potential to help the world reach the Sustainable Development Goal of universal health coverage. Several recommendations are provided to help ensure APNs achieve these goals.

“…Nursing regulatory authorities determine and enforce standards of practice and codes of ethics and conduct to ensure not only quality care but also public safety. (Scanlon et al, 2019) The way to determine nurse competency is by nursing credentials and recredentials. Implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials is expected to improve the ability of nurses who are the majority of health workers in hospitals, but unfortunately the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials has not been implemented optimally.…”

The results of the preliminary study indicated that the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials by the credentials subcommittee in the hospital was not optimal. Not many studies had investigated the problems that caused the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials was not optimal. This research was very important to do to explore more deeply about the problems that caused the credentials subcommittee was not optimally in the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials. To explore the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials by the credentials subcommittee in hospital. This study used a case study method. This study used a nonprobability sampling method with a purposive sampling approach. The research participants were three stakeholders in the hospital. Data collection methods with documentation and interviews. Data analysis method according to Miles and Huberman. The results of data analysis obtained four themes: The process of implementing credentials and recredentials through training, OSCA exams and mentoring, has not used OPPE and FPPE, has not been carried out regularly, the organisation is carried out after the nurse is accepted. The implementation of the results of nursing credentials and recredentials has no reward and punishment, not one perception with staffing, in nursing practice has not been detailed and has not been used in determining nurse incentives. Obstacles in the implementation of credentials and recredentials are the nursing committee structure that serves in other functional areas, there is no one perception about the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials with management, Covid 19 pandemic, and the application of clinical authority. Efforts to overcome obstacles by approaching management, using credentials results to determine nurse incentives, socialization to nurses and management as well as coordinating and cooperating with other sections Conclusion: There are barriers in the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials. Efforts are needed to overcome obstacles in the implementation of nursing credentials and recredentials.

“…Concerns about the future of healthcare globally have grown more urgent in recent years (OECD, 2016; Scanlon et al., 2019; WHO, 2020, 2021). There is a geographic maldistribution of healthcare workers, inadequate numbers of physicians and nurses, and a skill mix imbalance (OECD, 2016; WHO, 2017).…”

AimTo describe the mentoring process between the ICN Advanced Practice Nurse Network practice subgroup and the University of Pécs to support the emerging advanced practice role in Hungary, and explore the creation of a mentoring algorithm for faculty and other key stakeholders worldwide who wish to develop advanced practice nursing programs.BackgroundAdvanced practice nurses provide comprehensive clinical care and expand access to care in more than 70 countries. In March of 2017, a representative of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs requested assistance in curricula development for the inaugural advanced practice nursing program in Hungary.MethodsA mixed‐methods single case study was undertaken. The sources of evidence include interviews, e‐mails, review of the literature, and related documents. Qualitative data were analyzed for content, and frequencies were calculated for quantitative indicators.Findings and discussionThe findings highlight the importance of clear communication, development of shared goals, and determination to see the project through. Enriching information was provided by colleagues from diverse global settings. Credibility was gained in Hungary from the support of national and international experts.ConclusionThe mentoring foundation and process facilitated the role development in Hungary and contributed to an increased understanding of advanced practice nurses’ scope of practice. The intentional approach and the careful ongoing reflection may lead to future successful endeavors. Multinational engagement and collaborations will promote advanced practice nursing contributions globally.Implications for nursing policyMentoring can effectively empower nurses and advanced practice nurses to work to their full capacity. The shared experiences of international mentoring colleagues can contribute to and support the development and acceptance of national policies for the advanced practice nursing roles.
