The Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) is not accurate or at least not in the US. The title is ARNP [1] Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner and I interact with them occasionally in my profession but have included a link for verification.--Dakota ~ ° 07:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Correction

The title "Advanced Practice Registered Nurse" is a correct title granted to graduate prepared registered nurses majoring in an advanced practice role who successfully pass the American Nurse's Credentialing Center (ANCC) Examination to earn board certification as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). The term "Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner" or ARNP, is a licensing designation used by some State Boards of Nursing to designate a nurse as a nurse practitioner. The difference is that one term indicates advanced practice board certification by an accrediting body (ANCC) while the other term refers to a designation or license as a nurse practitioner in certain States. 199.91.34.33 17:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)MDS
