The Swedish ambulance health care services are changing and developing and subsequently, so is the role of the ambulance nurse. Ambulance nurses have had a significant role in the development of practice and could be considered vital to the current advancement in the field. Since 2005 every Swedish ambulance has been manned by at least one registered nurse, often with a specialist degree and, nurses are represented on all organizational levels where they have had great influence on development. This short period of history of ambulance nurses in ambulance health care and rapid development of the area has led to uncertainties regarding professional demands on competence of ambulance nurses.
