Advanced practice providers (APPs) are a quickly growing part of the healthcare workforce, helping to bridge the gap between the demand for physicians and nurses and keeping healthcare costs lower while maintaining a high quality of care.

Praise for Past Editions "This book is a vital read for individuals and the collective nursing profession...
