NR581NP Scope of Practice Worksheet
Name: Lina Jimenez – Mendoza
Carefully read the assignment guidelines and rubric and complete each section of the worksheet below
using complete sentences.
Intended State of Practice: New Jersey
1. Identify the state in which you intend to practice.
After the program, I intend to practice in the state of New Jersey.
2. Identify the source used to obtain information about the NP scope of practice in
that state. Appropriate sources include state boards of nursing or regulatory bodies.
I found a myriad of good sources ranging from state boards, non-profit organizations, nurse
associations, and government publications that offer insights into the scope of practice for ANPs in New
Jersey. The best source to obtain information about the NP scope of practice in the state of New Jersey
is the New Jersey State Board of Nursing.
Educational and Certification Requirements
1. Describe the state’s educational requirements for NP licensure.
Although education requirements may vary from state to state some share many similarities.
The state requires one to have completed a graduate degree: Have a master's degree from a Board-
approved program that includes at least 39 hours of pharmacology (NJ.2024). Earn national certification
by passing an advanced practice exam through a national certifying agency
2. Describe the state’s certification requirements for NP licensure.
In addition to the educational requirements, ANPs pursuing certification in New Jersey are required to
Request an application packet from the New Jersey Board of Nursing and submit it with proof of their
current New Jersey RN license. Fulfill a minimum of 39 hrs of practice under the guidance of a
qualified preceptor. It noted that gaining the practical experience and understanding required to give
patients high-quality care is essential.
NPs in New Jersey must also meet continuing education requirements and maintain their national
certification. This drive to continuing professional development shows how committed NPs are to giving
their patients safe, effective treatment (NJ. 2024).
