Statement of the Board of Directors

As presented in the final session of the April 2002 NONPF meeting.
NONPF Board supports the following concepts:

  • Clinical doctoral education for nurses
  • Standardization of new advanced clinical programs in nursing
  • Identification and validation of needed competencies beyond the masters through evidence-based inquiry
  • Career mobility through advanced clinical education
  • Seamless interface but with multiple entry and exit points
  • Strengthening leadership, management, and outcome content and practice in APN education

Rationale for support:

  • Method to increase workforce from non traditional student pools - non nursing baccalaureate
  • Need leadership for advanced practice
  • Parallels other health professions
  • Higher knowledge/skill level for teaching and practice
