New models for the workforce are required in long-term care (LTC) homes, as was made evident during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nurse Practitioner (NP)-led models of care represent an effective solution. This study explored NPs' roles in supporting LTC homes as changes in directives, policies, and recommendations related to COVID-19 were introduced.
