Scope of Practice Statement: Your scope of practice is unique to you based on your NP specialty. Your scope of practice must include the community and specialty within which you intend to practice and the parameters of your APRN practice. To put it simply, a scope of practice is what you do as a nurse practitioner. It is the population you practice with and how you implement your practice. Many nurses applying for endorsement as nurse practitioners find this the most difficult to write. While it may be difficult to get started, once you have started, you will find, as others have, that this is an opportunity to really think about your nursing practice and reflect on your skills and the care you will provide. A useful place to start is to read about the scopes of APRN practice in the literature (*see above assignment resources).
Role Delineation: The role delineation written section allows the reader to identify how you-the NP-will achieve each competency outlined by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculty (NONPF) and/or the AACN. Speak about how you plan to implement your NP professional role. This is unique to each student. You are to write a brief narrative and include supporting examples to highlight your intended activities. Ultimately it should show the progression toward the program goals. Some examples of how you, as a future NP, will fulfill your NP role can be seen in the chart below. Select one or two role component examples that you feel align with your NP practice goals, and provide supporting example experiences specific to your selected role components. End your paper with a concluding/summation statement.
Role Delineation Components:
1. Management of Patient Health/Illness Status
2. 2. NP-Pt Relationship
