Post your complete Response to the discussion questions in the by Competencies are there to help APN’s to practice at an evolved level. This week we will reflect on the competencies required to be an APN. Transitioning from the professional nursing role (RN) to advanced practice nursing role (APN) requires learners to intentionally reflect on what they know and what they need to know. Becoming familiar with the expected core competencies will help you understand the practice behavior expectations. In this week’s reflection discussion, choose at least 1 core competencies from the APN role you have choose to become. Please note: In your discussion response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response. Reflective posts provide you an opportunity to think back on the concepts and materials you reviewed for the week. A reflection is a method for personal growth. A reflection post can help answer questions, such as, How has my thinking changed this past week?”
