Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 510 Leadership and the Role of the Advance Practice Nurse

Advanced Practice Nurse Professional Development Plan It is important that a Master’s degree trained Nurse Practitioner (NP) have the opportunity to discover the different roles of the Advance Practice Nurse (APN) and subsequently use that knowledge to develop a professional development plan (PDP). The PDP should have certain considerations including education, licensure, and governing requirements specific to geographic location. This paper will describe those considerations as they apply to the NP in the state of Florida. Moreover, the paper will include a personal assessment including weaknesses, strengths, and goals. Prospective national and local professional organizations that provide employment for NP’s and networking/marketing strategies will be discussed. Lastly, a Curriculum Vitae will be reviewed to provide an in depth view of the NP’s abilities, skills, and accomplishments.
