Know your roles

I am an Older Persons Nurse Practitioner, currently working in a rural setting in an in reach role in the community. I have been endorsed with a generalist scope of practice to enable me to access the patient or client throughout the continuum of care. This enables me to access roles in the Emergency Department, acute care, sub acute, community or Residential Care.
The nurse pracitioner role, in this specialty is one of the broadest and most complex as there are often multiple co morbidities and syndromes tied in with psychosocial and ethical considerations.
This most interesting and rewarding area of expertise has allowed me to provide the best care that I can to the group of health care recipients who need the most care.
