  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Practice Nursing Leadership: A Global Perspective

Part of the book series: Advanced Practice in Nursing ((APN))

Abstract

The academy for advanced practice nursing is tasked with training highly qualified nurse practitioners (NP). Initially, the most crucial cornerstones to obtain this goal seem to be the development of documents describing (1) the role of the NP, (2) education and testing, (3) the requirements imposed on academics, and (4) the quality system. Having a vision and plan for how you want to obtain your goals, however, does not necessarily mean that these goals will be obtained. The addition of cornerstones facilitating the intrinsic motivation of academics is necessary to let them do what they are expert in. These cornerstones should increase accountability, ownership, and involvement in decision-making. A supportive learning environment, as well as coaching and empowerment by means of servant leadership are necessary cornerstones to graduate highly qualified NPs.
