Each advanced care provider role has specific core competencies specific to the specialization. Following are links to websites describing core competencies that are relevant to advanced practice role specializations:
• Nondirect Care Provider Roles:
o Nurse Administrator
o Nurse Informaticist
• Direct Care Provider Roles:
o Nurse Educator
o NP (Adult, Gerontology, or Family Health)
• Compare and contrast the core competencies of a direct care provider advanced role and nondirect care provider advanced role. For example, if you are a nurse informaticist or nurse administrator student, compare your role’s core competencies to the NP or nurse educator core competencies. If you are a NP student or a nurse educator, compare your role’s core competencies to that of the nurse informaticist or the nurse administrator.
• Analyze the similarities and differences in implementation of the competencies within the selected roles.
