Role preparation for advanced practice nursing: Practicing consultation and collaboration skills
Nurse educators are charged with ensuring that graduates are well prepared to function in the context of an ever-evolving and increasingly complex health care environment. Professional consultation and collaboration skills have been identified as necessary for the advanced practice nurse, yet teaching such skills can be a challenge.
