Abstract
In this month's Magnet Perspectives column, guest author Kathleen Martinez, MSN, RN, CPN, joins Rebecca Graystone, MS, MBA, RN, NE-BC, for an in-depth look at the explosive growth of ambulatory care nursing over the past decade. The authors take a deep dive into multiple factors contributing to this rapid evolution, the role of the Magnet Recognition Program(R) in accelerating and supporting ambulatory care and the nurses who provide it, and the prospects for continued growth in the decade ahead.
