Abstract

This chapter introduces the International Council of Nurses Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse Network which was established as a formal network almost 25 years ago. The International Council of Nurses Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nurse Network is a long-standing voluntary network committed to reporting on trends, developments in advanced practice nursing as well as providing tools, resources, and expertise to the International Council of Nurses. The network governance, management structure, and oversight as well as its current work, activities, and accomplishments will be presented in this chapter. The relationship between the International Council of Nurses and the network’s leadership (The Core Steering Group) is strong and works in collaboration with the International Council of Nurses Chief Nurse, network subgroups, and academy leaders to continue advancing projects, research and knowledge dissemination strategies related to the global development of advanced practice nursing. Numerous publications and resources have been developed by the network over the years and demonstrate global development of the advanced practice nurse role. The biennial conference is an example of successful leadership and impact from the network. The network represents a unique opportunity to bring nurse practitioners and advanced practice nurses and leaders together to debate on solutions for health challenges.
