Among on the National Core Competencies for Nurse Practitioners I choose to elaborate on Leadership competency.  As highlighted in the Nurse Practitioner Core Competencies by (NONPF), the Nurse Practitioner Provides leadership to foster collaboration with multiple stakeholders (e.g. patients, community, integrated health care teams, and policy makers) to improve health care (NONPF, 2012) Leadership qualities was displayed in working through previous DNP course NU 740, by collaborating with various disciplines while gathering data to support my SPP. As a clinical nurse leader with experience in overseeing an interdisciplinary team, collaboration is key to successfully running a team to improve healthcare outcomes. In my role as a clinical Nurse Manager, I displayed effective leadership by fostering collaboration with multiple stakeholders while working on a self-scheduling project for the team. Stakeholders included nurses, therapists, social workers, nurse practitioners and clinical schedulers. Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) and Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs), are in a unique position to take a leadership role, in collaboration with other healthcare professionals, to shape healthcare reform, as they use extended and expanded skills and are trained to focus on improved patient outcomes. (Heinen et al., (2019). As an NP Student, the development of leadership qualities can be harnessed through learning and collaboration among peers to improve the overall patient experience and outcomes. Nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses possessing expert knowledge and leadership skills that can be optimized to narrow disparities and ensure access to high‐quality health care globally.
