Abstract
A pregnant woman in rural Pennsylvania goes into labor at 2 a.m. Thankfully, the hospital has a certified nurse midwife on call. A teenager in crisis needs immediate mental health care, and the only available appointment is with a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. A trauma patient arrives in the emergency room needing surgery, and the clinician prepared to safely administer anesthesia is a certified registered nurse anesthetist.
