All advanced practice nurses, as part of their ongoing registration requirements, must demonstrate their commitment to maintaining competence and elevating the quality of care they deliver within their advanced practice nursing (APN) scope.
This is achieved through participation in quality assurance and competence programs managed by nursing regulatory bodies.
APNs demonstrate to the public their sustained competence through:
- Meeting practice hour requirements
- Engaging in practice reflection
- Participating in required continuing education and professional development
- Seeking and receiving peer feedback
- Setting and achieving professional development and learning goals
