Consensus Model for APRN Regulation Licensure occurs at Levels of Role & Population Foci APRN Specialties Focus of Practice beyond role and population focus Linked to health care needs Examples include but are not limited to: Oncology, Older Adults, Orthopedics, Nephrology, Palliative care POPULATION FOCI Family/Individual Across lifespan Adult. Gerontology* Women’s Health/ Gender Related Neonatal Pediatrics Psych/Mental Health APRN ROLES Nurse Anesthetist Nurse Midwife Clinical Nurse Specialist ++ Nurse Practitioner + ++The Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is educated and assessed through national certification processes across the continuum from wellness through acute care. * The population focus, adult-gerontology, encompasses the young adult to the older adult, including the frail elderly. APRNs educated and certified in the adultgerontology population are educated and certified across both areas of practice and will be titled Adult-Gerontology CNP or CNS. In addition, all APRNs in any of the four roles providing care to the adult population, e. g. , family or gender specific, must be prepared to meet the growing needs of the older adult population. Therefore, the education program should include didactic and clinical education experiences necessary to prepare APRNs with these enhanced skills and knowledge.

Why so much emphasis on Clinical Judgment?
Increased Emphasis on Clinical Judgment NCSBN Transition to Practice Data • Complex Health Care Needs: Newly licensed nurses are expected to care for sicker patients with multiple conditions in increasingly complex health care settings • Expertise Gap: Ten percent of a typical hospital’s nursing staff is comprised of new graduate nurses • Risk for Practice Errors: Several studies show that new nurses experience increased stress three to six months after hire; data has shown that increased stress levels are risk factors for patient safety and practice errors
Increased Emphasis on Clinical Judgment NCSBN Transition to Practice Data • Newly Licensed Nurse Errors: More than 40 percent of newly licensed nurses report making medication errors • �Life-Threatening Complications: Studies indicate 50 percent of new graduates would fail to recognize life-threatening complications due to lack of experience • �Patient Safety: Decreased staffing, use of inexperienced staff and increased turnover rates have a negative influence on patient safety and health care outcomes
Increased Emphasis on Clinical Judgment • Airlines – 0. 43 deaths per million passengers • Hospitalizations – 2, 300 deaths due to error per million admits
Program Pre-approval • New service from AACN Cert. Corp • Streamlines exam application review process • Pre-approved programs will be posted on AACN website • Assists prospective students in locating programs of interest – location, curriculum, online delivery, how to contact
