[edit] APRN
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
[edit] Patient, person or client
This is an ongoing debate, certainly in mental health nursing in UK. I have changed the recent edits adding patient back to person as this is, in my view, a less loaded term. Patient infers medical model, which is not the model that all nurses work in or people with mental health problems wish to be nursed by. Person is, though, ambiguous so I have reworded to person in care but this is rather long. There is also the term service user to consider. Happy to debate this one until we reach a consensus. --Vince 13:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rated article
I have assessed this article as top importance with a start quality. I think there is still substantial material to be added and that psychiatric nursing is an internationally notable phenomenon. However, please debate/amend if you disagree. --Vince 10:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
