Abstract
This paper primarily explores the article from the Journal of Nursing called “Demographic Profiles of Certified Nurse-Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Nurse Practitioners: Reflections on Implications for Uniform Education and Regulation”.

This will highly contribute to collaboration between APN’s to provide a better understanding of culturally competent care.
