Assessment 2 Detail
The purpose of the essay is to develop a clear understanding of what you want to achieve in your
career. This assessment allows students to consider that they will have the right knowledge and skills
to meet the requirements of their chosen career in an organised manner. In this essay, the students
need to succinctly review the literature focusing on the subjects and skills required for the career of
their choice. In addition, the students will evaluate how choosing the right subjects and developing
the right skills would make a significant difference in their chosen career. Furthermore, the student
will critically analyse the subjects and skills chosen for their future career.
In particular, the students are required to consider the following key issues in their essay.
(A) Introduction: In the introductory paragraph, describe about yourself, your educational
background, your qualification, and experiences. In addition, the student should describe
what motivated you to pursue the career of your choice.
(B) Skill identification and critical analysis: In the next few paragraphs, identify and discuss
about the key skills required for your chosen career. You are required to discuss at least 4
required skills for career of your choice. Some of the skills may include but not limited to the
following:
a. Interpersonal skills (including verbal communication skills)
b. Oral skills (including group or public speaking)
c. Professional writing skills
d. Team working skills
e. Leadership and negotiation skills
f. Analysis and presentation of research information
Critically analyse why you believe your selected skills are important in the career of your
choice. Support your discussion referring to the literatures to highlight importance of skills in
career development. You are required to refer to a recent job advertisement of a
professional position of your choice. Please attach this job advertisement in the appendix
of this essay as evidence.
(C) Skill gap analysis: Finally, the students are required to conduct a skill gap analysis. In the skill
gap analysis, the students should identify and discuss the skills that they possess, and they
are good at (their strength in skills) and the skills that require improvement (weaknesses in
skills). In addition, the students should critically analyse the ways of overcoming those gaps.
To support your analysis, you may refer to wider credible sources to link skills to the
advertised position. Reflect on the topics that were covered in this unit and how they will
help in your future career.
(D) In the subsequent paragraph, discuss about the goals (your own career goals as well as the
goals of your employer or clients). Describe how do you see yourself in the
industry/profession of your interest and the sort of expectations placed on you. Again, refer
back to the position description of the job advertisement that you have included. Discuss
the goals in terms of long-term and short-term goals.
(E) In Concluding paragraph, you should summarise and reflect how these knowledge and skills
would be useful in your future career.
Students are expected to critique the literature and adhere to the word limit. Essay should also
contain reference list written in Harvard style. Students are required to submit the draft of their

Assessments 2 Marking Criteria and Rubric
The assessment will be marked out of 100 and will be weighted 40% of the total unit mark. The
marking criteria and rubric are shown on the following page.

What is the application process for certification in your state?

Now that you are in the final course in your program, it is time to turn in earnest to preparing for certification and licensure. You will need to take and pass the national PMHNP certification exam. Once certified, you will then be eligible to apply for licensure as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) in the state desired. It will be up to you to ensure you are knowledgeable about the practice agreements, scope of practice, and prescriptive authority in your state.
Although a movement called the APRN Consensus Model is attempting to standardize NP regulations nationally, it is still the case that requirements vary state to state. In some states, NPs may establish an independent practice without the supervision of an MD. Additionally, states are currently categorized as either allowing full practice, reduced practice, or restricted practice. Full practice states allow NPs to evaluate, order diagnostics, diagnose, and treat patients. They are licensed under the exclusive authority of the state board of nursing for the appropriate state. Many states may require prescriptive authority protocols in addition to collaborative agreement.
Another important area to consider and plan for is prescriptive authority. The appropriate board, which may be the medical board, state board of pharmacy, or nursing board, grants prescriptive authority under state law for the appropriate state licensure. The federal government grants the authority to write for a controlled substance, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) verifies this action through by the appropriate state board. Drug Enforcement Agency registration is granted at the federal level and has additional requirements/fees for the registration process.
In this Discussion, you will locate and review the practice agreements in the state in which you plan to practice, identify potential collaboration requirements in your state, and understand the certification and licensing process that you will need to follow.
Review practice agreements in your state.
Identify whether your state requires physician collaboration or supervision for nurse practitioners, and if so, what those requirements are.
Research the following:
How do you get certified and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in your state?
What is the application process for certification in your state?
What is your state’s board of nursing website?
How does your state define the scope of practice of a nurse practitioner?
What is included in your state practice agreement?
How do you get a DEA license?
Does your state have a prescription monitoring program (PMP)?
How does your state describe a nurse practitioner’s controlled-substance prescriptive authority, and what nurse practitioner drug schedules are nurse practitioners authorized to prescribe?
Post a summary of your findings on your state (Illinois) based on the questions listed above. Explain the types of regulations that exist and the barriers that may impact nurse practitioner independent practice in your state. Be specific. Also, describe what surprised you from your research.
