title: The role of the transplant advanced practice nurse.
abstract: Expert clinical experience and abilities, often combined with knowledge from other disciplines, provide a foundation from which the transplant advanced practice nurse can play a variety of roles. Whether performing direct patient care or influencing patients in such settings as the hospital, joint practice, home health care or community nursing, managed care organizations, a corporate environment, or as a nurse entrepreneur, transplant advanced practice nurses have an impact on care. This advanced practice role is challenging, rewarding, and vital.
