  The Nurse Practitioner role is an important addition to nursing workforce development in New Zealand. At present there are relatively few NPs, however the number of nurses seeking Nursing Council endorsement continues to grow. These nurses are in a unique situation as pioneers having achieved the highest level of autonomous advanced nursing practice. This position will bring with it many challenges for those nurses who are amongst the first in the profession. The intent of this dissertation is to provide a framework of supportive mechanisms on which the emerging NP can draw in their professional domain throughout their career.

  Birth of a baby earlier than 37 weeks gestation ushers in a period of uncertainty and stress for parents. Uncertainties may center on whether their infant will survive and what ongoing growth and developmental issues their infant will face. Once infants are discharged from hospital, primary health care nurses have an opportunity to play a unique role in teaching, touching and empowering these stressed families.
