Preparing the paper 

The following are best practices for preparing this paper: 

Provide an introduction that generally addresses scope of practice, competencies, and leadership. The introduction should identify the sections of the paper.
NPs need to take into account rules and regulations that guide advanced practice in the states in which they practice. Research and review the Nurse Practice Act and APN scope of practice guidelines in your particular state. Describe educational requirements, licensure and regulatory requirements, as well as practice environment details for the state in which you plan to practice. Discuss information regarding full, limited, or restricted practice limitations as well as prescriptive authority. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source. For this section, the source can be your state board of nursing or whatever regulatory/legislative body handles nursing licensure in your state. 
Review the Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies (NONPF Competencies) contained in the lesson. A link to the competencies can be found in the week 2 readings. Complete a comprehensive, honest, personal assessment to identify your strengths and opportunities for growth. Describe two competency areas in which you’ve identified as strengths and two competency areas in which there are opportunities for growth. Discuss two ways in which you will engage with scholarship as you go through the master’s program to help you achieve these competencies. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source in addition to the NONPF Competency link and lesson about the competencies you selected to work on.


Analyze three leadership skills required to lead as an NP within complex systems. Describe two strategies you could use to help you develop those skills. Provide reference support from at least one scholarly source to support the leadership skills you selected and/or the strategies you will use to develop the skills.
Provide a conclusion that summarizes the important aspects of the APN Professional Development Plan.
