HISTORY OF THE NP ROLE correct Answer: HISTORY OF THE NP ROLE
The NP role was introduced in 1965 by Loretta C. Ford, EdD, and Henry K. Silver, MD, at the University of
Colorado (Mirr Jansen & Zwygart-Stauffacher, 2006). They identified new roles in which experienced
registered nurses (RNs) with advanced education and skills were performing clinical duties traditionally
reserved for physicians. Universities were slow to implement NP programs at the master's level.
However, RNs embraced the new role and rushed into continuing education programs of varying length,
quality, and focus to accomplish the necessary educational preparation for this new role.
In 2008 the License, Accreditation, Certification, and Education (LACE) consensus model was finalized
and adopted by many nursing organizations. The consensus model identified four
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse roles: Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), Certified
Nurse Midwife (CNM), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), and Certified Nurse Practitioner
(CNP). As part of the LACE model, Psychiatric-Mental Health was identified as a population focus. The
American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) and International Society of Psychiatric
Nurses (ISPN) recommendation was for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) to be
prepared across the life span (APNA, 2011). As of 2015 APRNs in psychiatric-mental health nursing have
one certification examination, PMHNP-Life Span, with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC,
2015). All previous psychiatric-mental health advanced practice certification examinations have been
retired as of December 2015 (ANCC, 2015).
Proven competence brought an acceptance of the NP role in the healthcare system, with acceptance
and recognition of the title and role by consumers and other health professionals. NP programs are
accredited by one of two organizations to achieve standardization and control over quality: the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE, 2016) and the Accreditation Commission for
Education in Nursing (ACEN, 2016). NPs are recognized providers under many third-party insurance
