The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) 

Review the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) competencies & develop an assignment to review each one of them & determine how your educational journey has prepared you to meet them.

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined core competencies that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF has represented them within nine broad areas of core competence. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This synthesis course has had the overarching objective of preparing you to be able to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and be prepared to apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities

The nine broad areas of competency are:

1. Scientific Foundations

2. Leadership

3. Quality

4. Practice Inquiry

5. Technology and Information Literacy

6. Policy

7. Health Delivery System

8. Ethics

9. Independent Practice

To Prepare:

The Assignment

For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet it (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose and explain how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Be specific and provide examples.
