Advanced nursing roles: their worth in nursing.
Various factors have influenced the development of advanced nursing roles, including the quest for professional status and advances in medical science. Advanced nursing roles must be firmly based in a nursing philosophy and seek to improve patient care. Advanced nursing roles can benefit the individual nurse, the nursing profession, the consumer and the health-care organisation.
