Professional Growth

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the quality of Nurse Practitioner education. NONPF plays a crucial role in setting the standards for NP programs and advocating for the profession.

One of the key resources provided by NONPF is the Competency Implementation Guide for NP Faculty. This guide outlines the essential competencies that nurse practitioners must develop to ensure they can provide high-quality care in diverse healthcare settings. The competencies cover various domains, including clinical skills, professional ethics, leadership, and communication, among others.

The NONPF's Competency Implementation Guide is essential for ensuring that NP students acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for effective practice, promoting high standards in healthcare education and, consequently, better health outcomes for patients.

Below are the NONPF domains of core competencies, along with original works that demonstrate my professional growth throughout my academic career.
