“…Because it was necessary for the Health Center to maintain relationships with local health and nursing agencies and to admit without screening some staff and supervisors from these agencies, 11 of these 85 graduates were not expected to function as nurse practitioners. * None of these 11 nurses are included in the data to be presented. However, it is of interest that 3 of these 11 nurses resigned their positions and took other jobs so that they could practice as nurse practitioners.…”

“…In contrast to office-clinic loads there are substantial differences in the activity profiles of the nurse working in private and in agency settings. The nurse in private settings makes a relatively large number of hospital newborn visits, averaging 11 per week in the aggregate, and handles a larger volume of telephone calls, averaging 27 per day. These are calls relating to clinical conditions rather than calls of a clerical nature.…”

During 1974, 29 pediatric nurse associates and 15 pediatric nurse associate trainees worked in the child health care system of the New York City Department of Health. All of these nurse associates, formerly public health nurses from the Department of Health, were trained in a one-year, intensive, closely supervised didactic and clinical course.Within the child health units the nurse associates assumed clinical roles in the care of well and sick preschool children according to the written guidelines andWith the introduction of pediatric nurse associates (practitioners), studies oftheir productivity, ofpatient acceptance, and of the quality of their care have documented their potential contribution to the delivery of primary pediatric care. [1][2][3][4] Since pediatric nurse associates are relatively recent innovations in the health field, the absolute number of these new professionals remains small. In the ten years since their introduction, about 3,000 pediatric nurse associates have been prepared for the entire country.5 Few reports have quantified the activity of a significant number of pediatric nurse associates working within a single health care system.

The Health Department agreed to pay the nurses' full salary and to provide necessary books and equipment during the program. Each student, in return, signed an agreement in which she promised to remain within the Health Department for at least two years upon completion of the educational program. The federal government provided funds to the University for support of the program.The curriculum followed the guidelines for such continuing education courses established by the Americn Nurses' Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.6 The program was of one year's duration: four months of intensive didactic and clinical experience followed by eight months of internship.During the first four months the students spent approximately 50 per cent ofthe time in didactic session conducted by the University nursing and medical faculty. To make certain that the didactic portion of the course was tailored to the specific policies and procedures of the Department of Health, members of the Department provided sessions on these issues.
