Nursing roles are continuously evolving to meet the changing demands of healthcare. There is a growing recognition of the importance of advanced practice nurses (APNs), such as nurse practitioners (NPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and nurse anesthetists. These professionals have expanded scopes of practice and are increasingly taking on roles traditionally held by physicians. Additionally, there is a rise in specialization within nursing, with more nurses focusing on specific areas such as oncology, geriatrics, and pediatrics.
