Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advance Practice Nursing
On the Discussion Board, we will be exploring conceptual models.
Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advance Practice Nursing
The AACN Synergy Model
Strong Memorial Hospital’s Model of Advance Practice Nursing
Shuler’s Model of Nurse Practitioner Practice
This week you will describe how these models may help APNs articulate professional role identify and function. Conceptual models will serve as a framework for organizing beliefs and knowledge about your professional roles and competencies and provide a basis for further development of knowledge.

c. Providing a coherent structure in which concepts important to advanced practice nursing are identified and related to one another
d. Guiding curriculum development for advanced practice nursing
e. Allowing practitioners to see the bigger picture so that they can provide holistic and comprehensive care
