Nurse Practitioner Project

[Lisa Frahm]

Hello everyone, I'm after some midwife's thoughts on the Nurse Practitioner Projects.  Do you believe that midwives are already advanced practitioners, and do they have a place in these projects??  I need to write an assignment on how midwives feel about this issue - both those who agree with it and those who oppose it.  I believe that the ACMI (SA Branch) has pulled out of the Project in SA, and wonder how credentialing will be achieved without their support.    I'd love to hear your views, and any references would be greatly appreciated.   In anticipation Lisa Frahm
