Registered nurses, with the desire to further their education and obtain a master’s degree, gain more knowledge, improve clinical competency, and be in a direct and more involved role in patient care, have the option to choose between four types of advanced practice nurse roles: Clinical nurse practitioner, (CNP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse midwife(CNM), and certified registered nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). The conscious decision to commit to graduate studies and to focus on expanding from undergraduate nursing knowledge to a master’s level is the first step in preparing to become an advanced nurse professional. Becoming a nurse practitioner will fully prepare students to assume the challenges that will collectively shape their capacity to excel as advanced nurses. Transitioning from a registered nurse to an advanced practitioner is the next step in a nursing career. In this paper, the roles of an advanced practice nurse will be discussed in detail, as well as the rationale for choosing to become a nurse practitioner versus another role.

The National Council of StateBoards of Nursing describes advanced practice registered nurses “as a vital part of the healthsystem on the United States” (NCSBN,2019). The capability of handling complex cases but with more independence and knowledge-based practice is what differentiates an advanced practice nurse from a registered nurse. As previously mentioned, advanced practice nurses have four options of specialization that focus on providing advanced patient care with the goal of improving patient outcomes. All four roles are unique in their own way and follow the specific scope of practice to care for the diverse growing pupation.
