Competencies & Orientation Toolkit for Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, 2nd edition

The Competencies and Orientation Toolkit for Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, 2nd edition, is a valuable asset for both NNPs and for preceptors and staff educators who work with NNPs. The goal of this toolkit is to establish consistent expectations concerning competencies for NNPs at varying levels and to provide a method of evaluating competence in order to assure the public that the NNP possesses the knowledge, skill, and clinical judgment required for providing safe, effective care. 

The e-book includes downloadable documents, including seven appendices, to facilitate individual use by NNPs and their supervisors. The edition identifies the core competencies and role of neonatal nurse practitioners (NNP), offers standardized methods for measuring and validating the competency of NNPs, incorporates neonatal competencies outlined by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties, and includes an expanded procedural checklist.

This product also includes word documents of the following appendices:
