冯莉莉教授，美国注册护士、医护师、计算机学位等身份，她一直在学习在进步，这次是20多年来首次回国参加我们举办的会议。
在几年前就与冯老师在讨论国内外护理的拓展问题，对比国内和美国的特点，或许有借鉴学习的地方，很多时候越聊越深入，因此每次交流都到半夜，其实，她在美国，我们在地球的两面交流，虽然有微信这样的通讯工具，但有些内容也没办法在微信说清楚。
特别是谈到职业拓展的问题，很多人都只觉得，学护理，一辈子就是临床上的小护士了。其实不是，看冯老师的身份，已经是跨专业甚至是跨界了，哪怕是我，也都从事教师、管理网站、呆过手术室、还是医疗互联网的产品经理，也算是跨了不少行业。
在设计护士笔记APP的护士身份分类时，当时就把护士可拓展的直接总结为以下十几个
当然，上面的专科护士很多还没发展完善，甚至是才开始在国内实行。
今天看了冯老师的PPT，美国居然有100种护士职业，而且，每种都有相应的考取方式。
有100项护理分支，不一定都适合国内，但可以肯定的是，这是护理行业发展的趋势，高学历，高专业的学科。
所以，这里的一百项我们并不适用，我会在接下来的时间用一篇文章介绍，国内护理人员应该向哪个领域发展或专科方向发展。
本人英文水平一般，大家可以用翻译器翻译这100项内容吧，在此感谢冯老师的授权发布的总结
