- W2269166087 abstract "•Using the term “resident” or “residency” for students should be strongly discouraged.•Postgraduate programs for NPs (beyond the master or doctor of nursing level) should be labeled fellowships.•NP fellowships are optional educational opportunities. Clearly communicating the educational requirements for licensed practice versus the education or experience needed to perform as a registered nurse (RN) or nurse practitioner (NP) is vital to our profession. Unfortunately, as a profession, we have not always done this well. Our inability to require a single level of education for licensure as an RN is a prime example. Only very recently in some states has a master’s degree been required for NP practice and now, once again, there are two possible degree entry points for certification and licensure as an NP, the master of science in nursing or the doctor of nursing practice.Let us add to this the multiple uses of the term “residency” or “resident” in our profession. We have residency programs for transitioning new RNs into practice. We have students who are called NP residents when completing precepted clinical hours required by their graduate programs. We have additional NP residencies for the purpose of transitioning NPs to specific roles in an area of practice, such as the longstanding Community Health Center’s Nurse Practitioner Residency Training Program (www.npresidency.com).The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (www.merriam-webster.com) defines residency as “a period of advanced medical training and education that normally follows graduation from medical school and licensing to practice medicine and that consists of supervised practice….” The important terms in this definition are graduation and licensure. If we substitute the word “medical” with “nursing” in this definition, it can be useful to clearly illustrate nurse or NP residency programs. The qualifying term, “nurse” or “nurse practitioner,” should always be used. Using the term “resident” or “residency” for students should be strongly discouraged.In fact, to more clearly delineate the distinction between nurse residency programs (post‒bachelor of science in nursing) and postgraduate programs for NPs (post‒master or doctor of nursing practice programs), the word “fellowship” could be used. It should also be clear that these NP fellowships are optional educational opportunities that are not necessary for the safe and effective provision of patient care. The Nurse Practitioner Roundtable, has developed a policy statement, “Nurse Practitioner Perspective on Education and Post-Graduate Training,” to guide us on our continued quest for clear communication with all our stakeholders on educational preparation, certification requirements, and licensure (www.aanp.org/images/documents/policy-toolbox/nproundtablestatementmay6th.pdf/).In this month’s issue of JNP, we focus on how we can influence policy that impacts our profession and our patients. Remember that the words you use and how you communicate, especially with those who are less familiar with your profession than you, can be critical.
