Abstract

With the advent of the post-epidemic era, science and technology are developing rapidly, and the health care industry is facing tremendous changes. In order to meet the challenges of public health, the special role of advanced practice nurse (APN) has attracted attention. This article reviews the development status, certification system, practice, and development trend of APN in various countries, aiming to provide reference for establishing the APN role and promoting its development in China, and calls for the establishment and improvement of the APN model as soon as possible to help achieve a "Healthy China".
