But decades later, the role is still little understood. In this striking follow-up to Claudia Mariano's 2015 book No One Left Behind, nurse practitioners from across Canada reflect on the challenges, triumphs, and evolution of the profession through the past decade. Drawing on their experiences-both in the clinic and beyond-Canadian NPs from coast to coast offer insight into the transformative part the role has had to play in shaping Canada's health care landscape, in clinical practice, advocacy, mentorship, and innovation. From the unique challenges of delivering health care in the remote Canadian North to the rewards of delivering gender affirming care to trans and gender-diverse youth, to the experience of mentoring fellow NPs in discovering rewarding and lucrative careers outside of traditional pathways, No One Left Behind: A Decade of Growth is an original and much-needed entry into literature on the nurse practitioner role, helping us understand and appreciate the tremendous strides they have made over the past decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A clear reflection of NP practice in Canada-from our origins, through the responsibility and barriers we navigate today, to the impact we are building ahead. This highly anticipated follow-up to Claudia Mariano's 2015 book, No One Left Behind, is a must-read for every nurse practitioner in Canada.\" - Aliya Hajee, MN, NP, MSCP, NP Circle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Harkness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038372871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarkness, Kim:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kim Harkness is a nurse practitioner leader and advocate who is deeply committed to education on and the advancement of the NP role in Canada.
