Upon completion of our program, a narrative analysis will be completed to summarize
and demonstrate how Chamberlain University's Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) program
Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) track has prepared its graduates and met the university's
program outcomes (PO) by correlating assignments from my classes to specific POs. In this
paper, my professional growth and development as a graduate student related to the AACN's
MSN essentials and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) will be
also be summarized. I will provide a reflective analysis of how through Chamberlain's FNP
program, I have grown professionally in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. In
this paper, I will reflect on how my cultural competencies have been transformed throughout
this program.

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has developed core
competencies that should be incorporated into all nurse practitioner programs. These NONPF

core competencies were designed to ensure the nurse practitioners will be prepared to provide the
highest quality health care. Since the organization began in 1980, the NONPF has been a leader
in providing resources for nurse practitioner programs (Pulcini et al., 2019). One of the
NONPF's most significant contributions is the list of core competencies. Core competencies of
NONPF are as follows: 1. Scientific foundations, 2. Leadership, 3. Quality, 4. Practice inquiry, 5.
Technology and information literacy, 6. Policy, 7. Health delivery system, 8. Ethics, and 9.
Independent practice (Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies, 2017). Additionally, according to
the NONPF core competencies, the master's prepared nurse should be equipped with the skills to
assess patients to determine normal and abnormal findings competently, order diagnostic
testing, and develop a treatment plan (Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies, 2017).
AACN's MSN Essentials
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) developed the Essentials of
Master's Education in Nursing to reflect the profession's ongoing call for "imagination,
transformative thinking, and evolutionary change in graduate education". The AACN developed
nine essentials of Master's education as a guide for graduate nurses to work in various healthcare
settings. These nine essentials are as follows: I. Background for practice from science and
humanities, II. Organizational and systems leadership, III. Quality improvement and safety, IV.
Translating and integrating scholarship into practice, V. Informatics and healthcare
technologies,
VI. Health policy and advocacy, VII. Interprofessional collaboration for improving patient and
