Use of References
All references must be from United States journals.Foreign journal articles will not be accepted.Synthesized on-line references including sites such as

Up-to-date, Epocrities, Medline, LexiComand 5 Minute Consult, and Metscape are not original references. Although the Cochran Review is well recognized

as an annotative source you need to look at the original articles. Be aware of using on-line composite reference sites- many of these are international

sources and are notUS publications.

Published articles from US published journals or reference books can be found through the Kramer Library databases. Google is not a health professional

search engine. Although web sites provide helpful information they may not be used as original resources for the required references. Websites can be

included in addition to the original references where applicable. Journal articles must be within 5 years for currency. These guidelines are applicable

to all references for papers in this course.

1. Knowing Who You Are
Throughout your advanced practice career you will be asked by professionals, patients, physicians, friends, and neighbors how your role is different

from that of a Physician’s Assistant (PA). Please present a three page paper comparing and contrasting the two roles. Include educational requirements,

certification, re-certification and licensure. Describe the differences in models of care. Reflect on one domain of nursing that you view is exclusive

to advanced practice nursing that is not reflected in PA practice. Please include 3 original references. Check professional PA and NP web sites for

additional information about these roles.
