Abstract
University nursing programs developed Nurse Practitioner
(NP) certification in the 1970s to provide primary care to
underserved communities. By the 1980s-1990s, however,
the NP role had become more specialized. We were
interested in what motivated the second wave of nurses to
pursue a NP certification. Using Oral History Interviews, we
focused primarily on Nursing faculty members and NP staff
at College Health Centers in the Rochester region.
