This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief.

The authors have plagiarized part of a report that had already appeared in Delamaire M-L, Lafortune G. Nurses in Advanced Roles: A Description and Evaluation of Experiences in 12 Developed Countries. OECD Health Working Papers No. 54. Paris: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2010. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
