Preparing the paper
The following are best practices for
preparing this paper:
- Review Chapter 29- Role Transition: Strategies for
Success in the Marketplace in
DeNisco and Barker (2013).
- Nurse practitioners need to take into account the state
rules and regulations that guide advanced practice. Research and review
the Nurse Practice Act and APN scope of practice guidelines in your
particular state. Identify information regarding educational requirements,
licensure and regulatory requirements, as well as practice environment
details. Review information regarding full, limited, or restricted
practice limitations as well as prescriptive authority.
- Review Guidelines for APN Role Transition Using
Benner’s Self-Assessment Tool in Prior to engaging in pursuit for
employment, APNs should complete a comprehensive, honest, affirmative
personal assessment to identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as
their goals and objectives. Research assessment tools, conduct a personal
assessment, and reflect upon your strengths, weaknesses, goals, and
objectives.
- To complete the transition from students to expert
nurse practitioners working in the healthcare field, graduating APN
students will need to secure their first position. Research local and
national professional organizations that advertise employment
opportunities for APNs. Identify networking and marketing strategies and
provide a rationale for your selections.
- Write your Curriculum Vitae (CV). Refer to the template
on pages 618-619 in DeNisco and Barker (2013). Your CV should not exceed 2
pages in length.
