title: Advanced practice and neuroscience nursing.
abstract: In this report Calkin's model of advanced practice is used to contrast generalized/specialized and basic/advanced nursing practices. Examples of specialized and advanced practices in neuroscience nursing are described in the context of environmental forces that influence advanced practice in North America. Finally, a letter from the future is used to speculate and to illustrate visions of nursing practice in the twenty-first century.
