RESUMEN
This article reports on a study examining the relationship between nurse practitioner students' expectations of future professional autonomy and the level of autonomy experienced by certified nurse practitioners. The findings indicate that practicing nurse practitioners experience a greater sense of autonomy than student nurse practitioners perceive. As autonomy is an issue of continuing importance in nursing, and for advanced practice, further research is needed to assist schools of nursing in devising reality-based curricula for nurse practitioner programs.
