1. 他们在病人护理中的作用
AG-PCNP. 初级保健AGNPs provide comprehensive, 为病人提供持续的医疗护理,并与病人建立长期的关系. AGNPs provide ongoing health assessments, promote health maintenance 和 help patients man年龄 long-term chronic illnesses.
An important part of an AGNP’s role is counseling, 包括教育个人和他们的家庭如何保持健康和预防疾病.
While they are both considered general nurse practitioners, 初级护理agnp和家庭护理从业人员(FNP)之间的主要区别是,家庭护理从业人员在整个生命周期中接受过患者护理培训, 包括 儿科和儿童. AGNPs are trained specifically to treat adults, from young adults/adolescents to geriatric patients, with capabilities in palliative/end-of-life care.
AG-ACNP. 急性护理NPs为患有慢性复杂疾病的患者提供间歇性护理, 重要疾病, or those who are unstable or technologically dependent.
与初级保健AGNPs相反,AGNPs与患者建立了长期的倡导关系, AGACNPs man年龄 patients from admission to discharge, 为遭受严重伤害或疾病的新患者提供紧急护理. 的ir work includes stabilizing patients, ordering 和 interpreting diagnostic tests, 防止进一步的并发症.
这代表了AG-PCNPs和AG-ACNPs之间最大的区别:患者护理性质的差异. AG-PCNPs function more as a long-term healthcare advocate, while AG-ACNPs deliver timely care in extremely sensitive cases.
2. 他们工作的地方
Because of the significant difference in the types of patient care they provide, primary care AGNPs 和 AGACNPs typically work in very different environments.
AG-PCNP. 初级保健国家志愿人员可以在以下领域工作:
- 家庭诊所
- 内科诊所
- 养老院
- 农村卫生所
- 公共卫生诊所
AG-ACNP. 急性护理NPs可以在以下领域工作:
- 急诊室(ER)
- 医院-内科外科
- 重症监护病区
- 紧急护理
- 急救护理
- Outpatient or Inpatient Subspecialty Practices
3. 技能和个性
AG-PCNP. 作为初级保健提供者, 你需要有出色的沟通技巧来了解病人的生活情况,并帮助他们确定他们的医疗计划的最佳方案. 你必须有同情心,有耐心,在遇到病人时要关注大局.
初级保健AGNPs, particularly those in rural 和 underserved settings, 可以独立工作. NPs always work in collaboration with a supervising physician, 但是拥有丰富经验的AGNPs有可能在他们的工作中获得更大的自主权. 寻求这种责任的注册护士可能会被AGPCNP的职业道路所吸引.
AG-ACNP. 如果不适合你的个性,作为急症护理NP的工作可能会有压力. For many, it can be incredibly rewarding.
In acute care you’ll be dealing with emergency 和 time-sensitive situations, with exposure to extreme cases 包括 traumatic car accidents, 暴力, serious illness 和 other kinds of emergencies.
Successful 和 healthy AGACNPs keep a level head when the pressure is on, 当病人没有多余的时间时,能够迅速处理护理. 与病人、医生和其他医护人员有效沟通是关键. You must be punctual, cooperative 和 become a leader when the moment dem和s it.
4. 专业化的机会
AG-PCNP. 初级保健AGNPs通常不专注于特定领域,因为他们在整个成人生命周期中管理护理的作用. AGNP作用的一个关键部分是确定何时需要专门护理并为其提供便利.
AGNPs可以从一般实践角色开始,并在将来扩展为专业—但请记住,专业化通常需要额外的教育. 初级保健护士从业人员有兴趣专门从事精神病学或精神卫生保健将需要考虑一个 post master’s PMHNP certificate program 作为一名PMHNP进行实践.
AG-ACNP. 因为急诊护理NP提供偶发性护理,而不像初级护理NP那样与患者建立持续的关系, AGACNPs可以根据实践快速发展一个专业领域,并在需要他们的具体经验时被调用.
Acute care NPs can specialize in many different types of care, 包括:
- 心肺
- 创伤
- 肿瘤学
- 神经外科
- 急诊医学
5. 认证机构
这两种专业都有资格获得美国护士资格认证中心(ANCC)颁发的各自的认证。. 然而, depending on the MSN concentration you choose, 您也可能有资格获得每个曲目的其他独特认证选项.
- AG-PCNP. 的 American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) 提供成人-老年初级护理执业护士(A-GNP)认证, 要求入门级考试测试临床知识在整个成人寿命, 从青少年到老年人. Graduate from Herzing’s program 和 you will qualify to sit for the exam.
- AG-ACNP. 的 American Association of 急救护理 Nurses (AACCN) 提供ACNPC-AG(成人-老年)考试, testing a graduate nursing student’s knowledge in comprehensive, 成人老年患者慢性或晚期疾病的高级护理.
Each certification exam has their own unique eligibility requirements 和 fees. Adult gerontology nurse practitioners who have earned board certification can add “BC” to their credential; for example, “AGPCNP-BC,或“AGACNP-BC”.”
相似之处
While there are significant differences between each type of NP, they share a few characteristics in common:
