專科護理師在台灣發展近30年，過去的專科護理師培訓以專業知識為主，以符合臨床照護需求。近年來，專科護理師的角色逐漸被重視，開始擔負起在專科護理師領域的領導者角色，但每家醫院對專科護理師的要求標準不一致，除擔任專科護理師行政管理者的工作外，亦須同時兼顧臨床專科護理師的角色，繁重的行政工作造成專科護理師主管相當大的工作負荷，例如處理人力短缺、排班、留任、訓練、考核等，同時執行臨床照護與行政管理的工作，造成專科護理師擔任行政主管的意願不高。因此，專科護理師學會規劃領導系列培訓課程，期望能增進專科護理師行政主管的領導能力，除了在醫院帶領專科護理師的專業發展，也期許發揮影響力能讓世界看見台灣專科護理師。

Nurse practitioners (NPs) system has been developed in Taiwan for nearly 30 years. In the past, thetraining of nurse practitioners was only focused on professional knowledge to meet the needs of clin-ical care. In recent years, the importance of nurse practitioners has increased, and they have begun to play leaders’ role in the hospital. However, requirements for nurse practitioners vary among hospitals. In addition to clinical care, nurse practitioners also have administrative management responsibilities. Heavy workload of the NPs such as handling manpower shortage, scheduling, retention, training, assessment and so on, result in low willingness to be a team leader. Therefore, to enhance the admin-istrative leadership competencies of NPs, the Taiwan Association of Nurse Practitioners purposed a series of leadership courses. NPs in Taiwan not only are expected to lead the nursing professional de-velopment in their own hospitals but also to have profound impacts on the society. Furthermore, NPs in Taiwan will be able to increase worldwide visibility.
