FNP Capstone Practicum and Intensive (NR 667)

Narrative Analysis This paper is a narrative analysis to exhibit how the Chamberlain University Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) program Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) track prepares the graduate nurse to meet the university’s program outcomes (PO), the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Master’s Education (MSN Essentials), and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) Core Competencies. This paper will identify and explain how I have reached each of theses objectives by providing artifacts from my graduate course work and reflect on how meeting these objectives have transformed me into a prospective masters-prepared nurse. Chamberlain University’s MSN/FNP Program Outcomes Chamberlain University’s PO number one asserts that the masters-prepared nurse will provide high-quality, safe patient-centered care that is grounded in holistic principles (Chamberlain University, 2020). PO number two charges the maters-prepared nurse to provide a caring environment that allows for the achievement of quality health outcomes (Chamberlain University, 2020). The third PO encourages the masters-prepared nurse to engage in a reflective practice and appreciate cultural diversity while participating in a lifelong pursuit of professional growth and development (Chamberlain University, 2020). PO number four requires the mastersprepared nurse to utilize professional values by continued scholarship and service in healthcare (Chamberlain University, 2020). The final, fifth, PO challenges the masters-prepared nurse to advocate for the positive health outcomes for patient through the practice of compassionate care that is evidence-based and collaborative to exhibit advanced nursing practice (Chamberlain University, 2020).
