Credentialing

Question Title

* 1. Credentialing of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in acute care settings is an essential practice, but care must be taken to ensure that full utilization of the scope of practice and capac- ity of APRNs is attained. The process of credentialing and privileging involves the verification of required education, licensure, and certification to practice as an APRN along with the recognition of the scope of the individual APRN’s practice based on training, education, and practice setting. Nursing administrators are challenged with ensuring that APRNs are credentialed and privileged and that appropriate mechanisms exist within the institution for promoting recognition of the scope of practice of APRNs.https://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/documents/CAPNAH/files/Developing%20an%20APN%20credentialing%20modelfor%20acute%20care%20facilities.pdf
