68k 1 Assignment 2: Individual Professional Practice Document: NP Title, Definition, and Consensus Model

Instructions

During this course, you will be developing an Individual Professional Practice Document (IPPD) that will identify the regulations, requirements, certification, and rules of the state in which you plan to practice as an APRN upon graduation. As you complete certain modules, you will be asked to add to the IPPD, so it is essential that you keep it handy and edit along the way as you receive feedback from your faculty. Adding to the document with each assignment will produce a complete document by the end of the course.

Identify the following:

• Your name
• APRN specialty foci
• State you plan to practice as an APRN
• The state’s definition of a Nurse Practitioner.
• The title allowed by that state.

Using the APRN Consensus Grid , write a summary of how the state you plan to practice in is meeting the components of the consensus model. Refer to the Nurse Practice Act for details related to the state.

If you live close to the border of another state and plan to practice or already practice in that state, it is strongly recommended that you have a separate document for that state as well. Not all states have the same regulations and requirements.
