Assignment 2 Week 10 : National Organization Of Nurse Practitioner Faculties
(NONPF) Competencies/NRNP 6675: PMHNP Care Across The Lifespan II.
The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined nine broad
areas of core competence that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient
population focus. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the
most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This course was designed to prepare you to
synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and to apply each of the nine core
competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities.
The nine areas of competency are:
Scientific Foundations
Leadership
Quality
Practice Inquiry
Technology and Information Literacy
Policy
Health Delivery System
Ethics
Independent Practice
To Prepare
Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the NONPF Core Competencies Content.
The Assignment
For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program
has prepared you to meet the competency (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then,
propose how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner.
Finally, describe 1–2 legislative and/or advocacy activities in which your state nurse practitioner
organization(s) are involved. Be specific and provide examples.
