Describe the NP core competencies as identified by NONPF and discuss how you can attain basic mastery of those competencies.
This will be a 2-4 page paper (excluding the title page and references).
Literature support should be used and points are assigned.
-Peer reviewed articles that are non-research and nursing organization websites may be used.
-All articles must be current (not more than five years old, unless it is a hallmark reference; e.g., Institute of Medicine (IOM) (2010). The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.
-Paragraphs are a minimum of 4-5 sentences—thoughts should flow consistently in an objective, scholarly fashion.
-Avoid first person. With scholarly papers, opinions should be avoided unless specifically asked for.
-Use references to support your statements.
Quoting/block quoting should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. It is better to summarize the information. Too much quoting takes away from the information being presented.
-Level headers should be used within the text of the paper. The level headers should correspond to the assignment rubric. Level headers provide organization to the paper along with ensuring the required information is addressed.
