Abstract
Abstract: Recent proposed changes to what constitutes a professional and their impact on federal student loans are in flux, and the public has concerns over the cost of higher education. The Fellows of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners have a professional responsibility to help educate policymakers and the public about the cost of attendance. Missing from national discussions are the not-so-visible expenses that contribute to the education of professionals. These expenses are necessary to maintain the world's most highly educated health care workforce.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
