A comprehensive literature search led to a variety of sources from a number of European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands in addition to literature from North America. Important work on the clarification of specialists in nursing has also been done by International Counsil of Nurses and European Federation of Nurses Associations (EFN). Results showed that there is no current consensus on definitions, regulations, roles, education nor practice of nurse specialists between countries, neither in Europe nor in the Anglo-Saxon world. There are even large differences between regions and states of the same country. In comparison to the education of specialists in other practice oriented disciplines in Iceland, e.g. psychologists or physicians, more emphasis is placed on theoretical knowledge than on clinical experience in the education of nurse specialists in Iceland. Differences in traditions and positions with regard to preparing specialist nurses for practice are described and discussed. A number of suggestions are made regarding the development of specialist education in Iceland.
