It is essential to train advanced practice nurses to levels of advanced ethical competence as well as advanced clinical competence, according to Helena Leino-Kilpi, keynote speaker on the third day of the Helsinki APN conference.

Lois Rockcastle, who has worked in Alaska for more than 20 years, explains that nursing practitioners look after more than 20% of primary health care in Alaska, and as many as 11% of Alaska’s nurses are advanced practice nurses.

Nursing practitioners play a uniquely prominent role in health care provision in remote regions of the northernmost state in the US, where the majority of the population are native Alaskans (earlier known as “eskimos”), who still live largely from subsistence hunting and fishing.
