title: Change from a North American setting to a European setting: impressions from a NY-trained adult nurse practitioner.
abstract: There are many challenges that an American-trained nurse practitioner faces in Switzerland. Having an international perspective, I will be able to combine the best of two settings. My goal is to be a role model for the ways in which advanced nursing practice can be an asset in the health care setting and to inspire nurses to pursue this path in preventive, rehabilitative, or acute cardiovascular settings throughout Switzerland.
