Abstract

Advances in independent nursing practice can expand the professional identity of nurses. Although there is no formal recognition for an advance practice nursing role in Denmark, there are clear examples of nursing expanding its scope to meet the meet of individual patients and larger community needs. Many Danish nurses work with expanded competencies in surgical settings, medical settings, psychiatric environments, and are instrumental in promoting continuity of care for patients who have chronic conditions. Expansion of the nursing role is an example of health care evolving to meet societal and patient needs, even within a controlled research environment, and will promote job satisfaction and retention among its most experienced nurses. This paper offers a review of expanded nursing roles in Denmark and offers further evidence of expanded autonomy for nurses in a clinical research environment.
