This newspaper article was written from the perspective of a medical doctor
reflecting on the approaching Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act being
implemented in 2014. The impending ramifications of an overloaded health
system with shortages in both Primary Care Physicians and nurses are discussed.
The collaborative report from the Institute of Medicine and Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation regarding the transforming of the health system is noted and the
author states support of the growing need for advanced practice nurses being
utilized as primary care providers.
This resource is found in a popular newspaper. It is not considered scholarly
information, but is a reflection of the current perception of the changes in
healthcare. This format could be used to highlight the author’s opinion, but since
information is not cited in the newspaper article, it cannot be used as fact based
information.
The perception of the current health care changes is important to consider as a
student attempting to enter the field as an advanced practice nurse. The article
highlighted current perception of medical doctors in relation to accepting FNP as
primary care providers. This article could be used to further increase the
understanding of such perceptions and lead to further research materials.

The article discusses the results of a small scale qualitative study in a hospital in
the United Kingdom to determine the perceived roles of advanced practice nurses.
The study interviewed nurses, junior doctors and advanced practice nurses to
determine if the roles were clearly defined and if there is any disparity in practice
on day shift verses night shift.
The article is scholarly and presents the study in a professional manner. The
method of the study is clearly defined and statics are available. The role
confusion is specific to the hospital setting and specific to processes in place in
the UK. For this reason, the source may not be as pertinent to use in future
resource concerning FNP’s in the US. It does offer a comparison and contrast of
the issues faced for FNP’s on a global perspective.

The article discusses a qualitative study geared towards determining how Family
Nurse Practitioners perceived the transition from practicing as a registered nurse
to the advanced practice role. The purpose of the study was to develop education
models to assist future advanced practice nurses with less perceived difficulty in
the transition of the role. The study developed two phases of transition, first
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 4
being educational transition and second being the transition from expert in
practice as nurse to novice in practice in the advance nurse role.
The study is eight years old and therefore is not the best choice for a current
resource. It was one of the first studies of its kind and the research is limited in its
scope due to it only interviewed 9 participants and each FNP participant had been
in practice for a limited time. The benefit of the newly acquired role is that the
transition stresses were still fresh for the participants. The researchers state the
need for a broader study. Even though this research is well beyond the 5 years
recommended for a good resource, the nature of the material would be useful in
furthering research in this area.

The article is about a study that surveyed clients utilizing a retail health clinic for
their medical needs. The surveys were voluntary and were available to both
English speaking and Spanish speaking clients. The goal of the study was to
determine if the clients perceived they were getting quality care from the family
nurse practitioners and the physician assistants that provided medical services in
two urban retail clinics. The result of the study would indicate the perception of
level of care was positive and a future role for FNP’s in this format appears
promising.
The article is peer-reviewed and scholarly. The method for the research is clearly
described and statistical analysis presented. This source is usable for further
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 5
research in the area of the general population’s perception of care delivered by
FNP’s. Also, this study highlights a fairly new setting that FNP’s could prepare
to offer serviced in order to meet the growing health care challenges. The
information in the article is timely and expected to have even more impact in
health care as policies change.

This is a white paper report submitted by the Nursing Practice Action Committee-
APN Reimbursement work group of The Indiana Action Coalition. The report
first defines the advance practice registered nurse terminology and different
specialties that are recognized in Indiana. The report continues to outline the
historical background, scope of practice, licensing and certification, and
reimbursement for each APNP specialty.
The report culminates with recommendations for the advancement of the APNP
roles in order to meet the oncoming challenges in health care in Indiana.
The report is a professional report from the governing agencies in Indiana. The
information is factual and well organized. The governing agencies do have an
agenda to promote further use of APNP in Indiana and highlights their
recommendation to facilitate this process. This material is timely and factual and
would be an excellent addition to any research that involves Indiana nursing laws.

The journal article discusses a survey study conducted to determine the different
settings advanced practice nurses across the nation are practicing. The article
notes the lack of a generalist tract for nurse practitioners as is available for
medical doctors. The intention of the study was to determine if APN were
working in settings consistent with the certification of specialty. The purpose of
the study was to determine potential gaps in the education of ANP’s. The
knowledge gained from the study has implications to improve education to APN’s
in the form of post certification continuing education.
The journal article is presented in a scholarly manner with method and statistics
well presented. The article is peer-reviewed and recent. This article would be an
excellent source for future research in the area of how current APN choosing to
use their expertise and if they are well prepared for such settings.

The article is a discussion paper on the history of the nurse practitioner role
internationally. It outlines the confusion surrounding the different certifications
and qualifications of advanced practice nurses. Literature is discussed concerning
the need to improve role clarity and consistency in the definition of the roles not
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 7
only in the United States, but globally. The discussion further defines potential
issues between the APN and medical staff. Finally, the article discussed the need
to progress the ANP’s role to meet growing healthcare needs.
The article is presented in a scholarly manner with methods well defined. The
information is applicable to the current issues regarding ANP role definition and
would be an asset to any future study.

This paper from the National Governors Association (NGA) assesses the growing
need for advanced practice nurses due to the changing horizon of healthcare.
Legislation will soon be in effect that will increase the number of people gaining
health insurance and this will ultimately place a strain on health care services
ability to meet the needs of the population. The NGA has noted a disparity in
requirements for APN’s to practice across the states and provides statistics from
and intensive investigation of each states governing bodies. An extensive
literature review documents the positive relationship APN’s has contributed to the
nation’s health care. Recommendations are made to ease scope of practice
restrictions, allowing APN’s to have more autonomy without direct supervision
from medical doctors. Also, recommendations are made to equalize
reimbursement for the practicing ANP. The overall goal of the paper is to
promote the APN role in order to meet the growing demands each state faces in
the current health care climate.

The paper is current and is a recommendation from a political standpoint. The
information is useful to future research in the APN’s place in the ever changing
health care climate.

The article discusses a study completed to evaluate the relationships of positive
forces and obstacles perceived by registered nurses as they transition to the role of
family nurse practitioner. This is repeated study by the authors. The study was
first completed within a narrow scope in 2004 which assisted the authors in
developing educational frameworks. The researchers determined the study
needed to encompass a broader scope and the study was revised and implemented
via mail surveys across 2 states. The results differed in nature from the original
study. The researchers suggest the educators can use the study to improve
education and preceptor guidance to facilitate RN to FNP transitioning.
This study is presented in a scholarly manner with statistical analysis and methods
well defined. The information in the study lends itself easily to future research in
education need for the APN tracts.

The article explains the new topic in health care reform that is changing the
concepts of who primary care professional is to the patient. The new
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 9
developments a more patient centered instead of physician centered. This change
is not in terminology alone. Increasing support from accrediting agencies is
helping to develop models that place the unique needs of each patient in the center
and the patient becomes the one leading the care. The article states the evolution
of provider neutral language is recognition and acceptance of the role NP’s
provide in health care today.
This is not a scholarly article, but is published on a credible nursing website. The
article offers insight into the current political challenges facing APN’s in the US.
This article is useful in future research if only as a means to facilitate further
information to research.
Reflection
The development of an annotated bibliography, although time consuming initially, would
be to assist the researcher in organization of materials. It simplifies the process of returning to
the resources for information. Often the titles of articles are similar and it would be difficulty for
the researcher to remember what the importance was in the internal text of each resource. This is
my first experience with an annotated bibliography. Initially, I felt the process to be too time
consuming and thought the time would be better spent actually writing the paper rather than
summarizing the sources. Once the bibliography was completed and I read through the
summarizations, I realized the benefit of the work. In times past, I would have to basically re-
read an article to help spark my memory of why the resource was originally chosen. With the
summaries following each reference, I could easily return to the article knowing the information
I needed would be in that article.
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 10
I found it is difficult to find web based information that is usable in research. Even when
using a credible nursing site. Often the information is generalized and written in an opinion
format. When I did follow links on the credible nursing sites I was led to officially published
journal articles. I did not think this would be any different than finding the same published
article on a library search and therefor did not use those sources to represent my website
resource. I find the information in a website to only be useful in helping direct my attention to
certain subject that can then be further researched in the scholarly published works. Some of the
professional websites did offer literature reviews that would be helpful in finding credible
resources about a particular subject.
I found reading through the literature reviews offered on professional sites useful. It
highlighted the most recent studies and gave a good overview of the material. This would be
helpful in finding material or finding a subject worth furthering research. I have not written a
literature review and can see the process would be beneficial to future researchers, but only if he
reviews was then published for use. I imagine writing a review for your own personal library of
researched work would be beneficial to the student on a smaller scale or a group of students
collaborating on the same research material.
I was surprised when researching professional websites that many of the sites only offer
information to members. I was excited to find sites such as Coalition of Advanced Practice
Nurses of Indiana (CAPNI). I had thought finding information that affects advanced practice
nurses in my state of Indiana would be beneficial. Soon I was disappointed to find all the
information is available to members only. This site proved to be less than useful from a student
perspective. Finding credible websites that has useful information is difficult.
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT 11
Another issue I found surprising was the number of scholarly published works that did
not include a digital object identifier (DOI). Specifically the Journal of Nursing Education did
not use the DOI as late as 2008 published works. Although the article is found using the library
search engine, it is recommended by the Publication manual of the American Psychological
Association (2010) to search for the journals website and use the site address in place of the DOI.
This was challenging because the web address is not similar to the title of the Journal and I was
skeptical the article could be found using this method. The use of a DOI simplifies the process
and I would think all scholarly journals would desire to use this system in order to have their
material easily usable.
Overall, I found this exercise surprisingly useful. As I stated previously, I thought the
process was too time consuming and the time could be better spent on the actual research paper.
I was surprised that my thoughts on the process once completed had changed so completely. I
now know that the work in developing the annotated bibliography could potentially save time
and frustration later in the writing process. I can only hope that as I become more comfortable
with the process of organizing and writing the annotated bibliography the process itself will
become less time consuming. Then the entire process would clearly be well worth the effort and
time. I also see the benefit of having a saved version of annotated references for each paper
written in order to quickly find reusable sources. This is an advantage that does not exist with a
reference page alone. This writing process was enlightening.
