Abstract
Nurse practitioner (NP) and advanced practice nurses (APNs) must be competent in their area of practice. Practice competencies define NPs’ and APNs’ scope of practice and assess proficiency of the knowledge and skills to provide safe care. There are several different standards worldwide for developing and implementing APN and NP practice competencies. The International Council of Nursing (ICN) continues to work toward defining a set of standards for NPs and APNs that can be adopted internationally.
