title: The politics of advanced practice.
abstract: Nurses have a unique opportunity to influence the future. Practice opportunities abound for advanced practice nurses in emerging health delivery models. Practice barriers, external as well as those created by nursing, must be addressed. Politically savvy nurses can use their understanding of power and politics to effect changes that can maximize advanced practice nurses' contributions to the health of our society.
