title: Nurse practitioners enter the new millennium: a global initiative.
abstract: Health care for all was the theme as nurse practitioners gathered in the United States for the 8th International Conference. At the conference, nurse practitioners representing 27 countries discussed issues of global concern. Nurse practitioners face common challenges in their global community. Strategies for practice and forward movement of the advanced role are discussed. Universal challenges include titling, legal recognition, legal status, prescriptive authority, and reimbursement. These issues continue to be addressed as we move toward a global community.
