PREPARING THE PAPER
The following are best practices for preparing this project paper: 

1. Review the NONPF Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies.
2. Identify an APN with whom to conduct an interview. The APN should practice in one of the following roles: CNS, CNP, CNM, or CRNA.
3. When conducting the interview, be sure to identify appropriate background information regarding the interviewee (who, what, where, when, and why).
4. Discuss the APN core competencies with the interviewee. Be sure to identify appropriate details including relevant practice examples gleaned from the APN leader.
5. When analyzing the discussed APN competencies, be sure to fully address each APN competency discussed in terms of original source and leader’s application to APN role (i.e., Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies [NONPF, 2011]).
6. Conclude the paper with a summary of the main points covered in the paper and the benefits of meeting the competencies within the APN role.
