title: Practice partnerships: the newest concept in care delivery.
abstract: The shortage of nurses provides an opportunity to advance clinical reasoning to include deciding exactly which hands-on care activities must be done by the professional nurse and which aspects of care can be provided by a nurse extender. The relationship of the professional nurse and her "extender partner" is a new solution to an old problem...one that has lasting power because it advances professionalism.
