title: Credentialing specialty nursing practice: a dissenting view.
abstract: Orderly development of specialty practice has been a professional issue in Australian nursing since the 1991 visit of Dr Margretta Madden Styles of the International Council of Nurses. In response, the ANF established the National Nursing Organisations (NNOs)--leaders of about 60 national specialty groups who meet twice each year to ensure orderly development of specialty practice. The most recent issue raised in this forum was credentialing.
