Slide Notes for PowerPoint
Slide 2:
LACE Model:
The model identifies the essential elements of APRN regulation as licensure, accreditation,
certification, & education (LACE). Licensure refers to the authority to practice as an independent
practitioner. The APRN education program must be accredited. The APRN must be certified in
m
the APRN role by a national board.
er as
The LACE Model defines advanced practice nursing (APRN) & delineates four roles: clinical
co
nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse practitioner (CNP), certified registered nurse anesthetist
eH w
(CRNA), & certified nurse midwife (CNM).
Advanced education builds on the pre-licensure preparation for RNs & occurs at the role &
o.
rs e
population level, which then prepares the individual for initial certification. The LACE Model
specifies educational program requirements & the program is accredited accordingly.

Slide 3:
The APRN Consensus Model:
o
aC s
The APRN Consensus Model was authored by a number of national professional advanced
vi y re
practice nursing organizations & was created to provide guidance for states to adopt uniformity
in the regulation of advanced practice registered nurse roles. This model makes a clear
distinction between acute care & primary care practice preparation, noting that acute care
ed d
focused, & primary care focused Nurse Practitioner programs have distinct competencies based
on the consensus model as well as specific certification processes.
ar stu
All c&idates must first earn a Master of Science in nursing or doctoral degree from an accredited
nursing education program in the United States. While the length of the program varies across
APRN roles & specialties, a minimum 2-year full-time course of study should be expected. The
is
typical APRN curriculum includes health promotion &/or health maintenance; advanced health
assessment, physiology/pathophysiology, & pharmacology; & research, ethics, policy, finance, &
Th
organization of health care delivery. APRN students also must successfully complete extensive
clinical practicum learning experiences.
Following degree conferral, the graduate obtains national certification by passing an examination
sh
administered by a recognized certifying body, such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
After becoming certified, the APRN follows the procedure in his or her state to become
authorized for APRN practice. No uniformity in the nurse practice act exists across the United
States.

, Slide 4:
California Licensure Considerations:
California's advanced practice nurses are under the jurisdiction of the California Board of
Registered Nursing (BRN). In order to be certified as an advanced practice nurse, a practitioner
must also be licensed as a registered nurse.
The Board recognizes the following graduate-level advanced specialty areas:
Nurse Anesthetist (NA)
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Nurse-Midwife (NMW)
Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS)
Psychiatric/ Mental Health Nurse (PMH)
A nurse can become an NP by
1) completing an in-state program recognized by the Board as meeting st&ards
2) earning certification through an accepted organization or
3) completing an equivalent program.
m
er as
In order to be certified by equivalency, a nurse will need to verify clinical experience & clinical
competency in provision of primary care services. Clinical competency will be verified by both a
co
eH w
licensed physician & a licensed nurse practitioner.

Washington Licensure Considerations:
ou urc
