Abstract
The authors present an argument for separate advanced practice nursing roles. A model is presented for collaborative practice between two advanced practice nursing roles--a nurse practitioner and a clinical nurse specialist/case manager. The model was developed from the clinical practice of the authors' work in a community health center. A clinical example is provided that explicates the distinct and separate roles of each provider and demonstrates their collaboration to provide excellent, cost-effective healthcare.
