“…Gender equity is an increasingly important concept to address in healthcare education, research, workforce planning, and delivery. Obstacles and barriers need to be addressed for equitable gender distribution in the NP workforce, as the majority of NPs tend to be Caucasian women ( Reuter-Rice et al, 2016 ). As of 2018, 91% of Canadian NPs were female, in contrast to only 42% of Canadian physicians ( Canadian Institute of Health Information, 2019b ) and in our study females accounted for 93% of respondents.…”

Regular examination of health workforce data is essential given the pace of health system and legislative changes. Health workforce studies pertaining to nurse practitioner (NP) practice are needed to examine the gaps between work activities, policy, human resource supply, or for population needs. Jurisdictional comparison studies can provide essential information about NP practice for governments to respond to health workforce deficiencies or engage in service planning. In Canada, there is limited provincial-territorial jurisdictional NP workforce data to support health planning or policy change. This descriptive cross-sectional study was to examine the similarities and differences in practice patterns of Canadian NPs. In 2016 and 2017, an electronic survey was sent to all 852 registered NPs in three Canadian provinces, yielding a large convenience sample of 375 NP respondents. The results of this study underscore the value of NPs’ extensive registered nurse expertize as well as their ability to serve diverse patient populations, work in varied healthcare settings, and provide care to medically complex patients. The study findings also show that NPs in all three jurisdictions work to their full scope of practice, in both rural and urban settings. This study is the first to compare NP workforce data across multiple Canadian jurisdictions simultaneously. Studies of this type are valuable tools for understanding the demographics, education, integration, and employment activities of NPs and can aid governments in addressing workforce planning.

“…They work in diverse settings including, but not limited to, hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, urgent care centers, and home care with technology-dependent patients. CPNP-ACs work as members of interprofessional teams in which the responsibility of caring for acutely and critically ill patients is distributed among multiple providers: CPNP-ACs, physicians, nurses, and others (Chesluk et al, 2012;Reuter-Rice, Madden, Gutknecht, & Foerster, 2016). As interprofessional team members, CPNP-AC providers are responsible for independent and collaborative decisions when providing patient care and engaging families in the process of care delivery (Stocker, Pilgrim, Burmester, Allen, & Gijselaers, 2016).…”

“…The PNP role is essential to the delivery of health care to children in all health care settings where they are principally engaged in direct patient care (Aruda et al, 2016;Reuter-Rice et al, 2016). Pediatricians, hospital administrators, and pediatric subspecialists have indicated intentions to hire more PNPs (BLS, 2018;Freed, Dunham, Loveland-Cherry, Martyn, & Moote 2011;Freed et al, 2012).…”

“…24 More than 80% of acute care pediatric NPs feel that knowledge and skills surrounding emergent and lifethreatening situations and initial resuscitation measures are very important in their role. 19 These skills were ranked second in the 10 highest ranked attributes of patient management by acute care pediatric NPs. 19 Furthermore, little is known about the type of in-hospital training APPs receive to prepare them to be leaders during these events.…”

Background: The number of advanced practice providers (APPs) in pediatric critical care has increased dramatically over recent years, leading to increased opportunities to lead resuscitation teams during pediatric emergent events.Objectives: The aim of this study was to better understand the emergency leadership experience, training, and education that pediatric cardiac intensive care unit APPs receive.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive studying using survey responses. The self-administered survey was administered to APP and attending physician members of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society. Survey results were analyzed.Results: One hundred seven pediatric cardiac intensive care unit APPs (n = 53) and attending physicians (n = 54) responded to the survey. Half of APPs felt that attendings allowed APPs to lead emergent events, and 50.9% had never functioned in the team leader role. Most respondents (77.5%) rated their comfort functioning in the role during emergent situations as moderate or lower.Increased APP experience level was associated with a higher number of codes led, increased comfort leading codes, and improved mental model sharing (all Ps < .0001). The number of codes an APP had previously led was associated with increased comfort leading codes ( P < .0001) and mental model sharing ( P = .0002). One-third of attendings said they allow APPs to lead codes in their unit. Half of attendings who do not allow APPs to function as the team leader would follow formal training.Discussion: Opportunities for APPs to function as team leaders during emergent events continue to increase. A leadership educational program would be beneficial to pediatric critical care APPs. It may
