Certification Plan
Begin to develop a plan to pass the Certification Exam. Compare your home state’s laws in regards to Advanced Practice Nursing Practice to an alternate state with a less or more restrictive practice environment.
To prepare:
· Consider the differences in certification exams options for your specialty
· Reflect on how to approach relocating licensure from one state to another
Write a 3-4 page paper which summarizes the following:
· Identify the certification exam you selected and explain why
· Outline your plan for passing the appropriate National Certification Exam
· Describe the NP Practice environment for your home state highlighting restrictions or limitations for practice
· Describe 3 strengths identified from the FHEA Exit Exam
· Describe 3 areas of weakness identified by the FHEA Exit Exam and develop a study plan for addressing these areas of weakness
