Demonstration of advanced level interpersonal, spoken and written communication ability.
This is an imperative quality that an individual must encompass in order to flourish in the
business environment. For the nursing practitioner role, the acquisition of high level
communication skills are indeed a mandatory postulate. The experience in terms of the enrolment
in the nursing departments over the years is a helpful asset that the applicants must possess in
order to deliver their best towards this job. The content that is provided through the ability to
work in the emergency departments helps in the understanding of operating in a team
environment which eventually develops a vocational skill set in an individual. The adaptation
accordant to the needs of the hospital in terms of the interpersonal abilities is an other important
aspect that has to be present in the applicant (Wright, 2022). The expertise in the written
communication skills requires a comprehensive recognition which is adherent towards the
guidelines of the medical line for an accurate record compliance.
Presentation of the clinical cognition and problem solving quality.
The proficiency in the techniques an individual learns during their placements in the
medical fields along with the psychological feature it imbibes in terms of the problem solving
aspects, is very well nourished in that course of time. The job of a nurse is highly dependent upon
the clinical knowledge that the health expert exhibits for carrying out the necessary tasks in the
medical facilities. The information of the medical history of the patients must be duly checked to
contemplate the current condition through a vital approach. The possible side effects that the
admitted patient can experience must be thoroughly evaluated from preventing any sort of serious
complications to arise in the case. The safety and the efficiency while dealing with the special

cases is the most important segment of the medical representatives. The possession of these skills
is a must for a nurse practitioner to maintain the accuracy in the medical interpretations.
Determination of the attributes to work within a workforce.
It is quite an essential quality to imbibe in respect to maintaining and achieving positive
health outcomes of the patients with a vision to attain the goals that are pre-determined by the
medical authorities. These subjective approaches to make use of, is significantly approved by the
doctors, peculiars, health care providers and the professionals present in the medical service
stations. To enable a united management of the patient's intensive care, it is mandatory to explore
and recognise each and every facet of the disciplinary (Covelli and et. al., 2022). The
employment of an accurate verbal and written record compliance acquirement must be there to
help the relative team members to respond towards the modification in terms of the care of the
patients. The applicant for the nurse practitioner role, must have the above-mentioned skills to
survive in the team-oriented environment of the administration. The support the practitioner
provides to the companions that are serving along in the ongoing treatment of the patients must
be coordinated in a feasible manner.
An understanding of the vocational, moral and legitimate need of the Certified Nurse-or Midwife.
The apprehension in respect of the duties in terms of the chores that are assigned to the
practitioners must be there in order to become a registered nurse in a reputed medical
organisation. This thereby includes an adhesiveness towards the professional, philosophical and
judicial requirements determined by the governing body i.e. The Nursing and Midwifery Board
of Australia (Wong and et. al., 2022). The consistency towards the consideration of the
responsibilities of a registered nurse is indeed an abjuratory task to complete. The competence in
respect to the recent developments in the postulations of the board is a must to correspond to the
standards that are ascertained by them. The obligations such as the codification of the behaviour
in the medical institutions, definite legal requirements and other professional expertness is duly
mentioned in the contract, formulated by the - The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
The activeness that is expected from the health providers must be contemplated in a significant
manner.

The functions of the Registered Nurse in respect to an uninterrupted improvement in the quality
and safety principles.
In order to eliminate the scope of jeopardy, the identifications of the possible risks factors
that can affect the health care environment in respect to the personnel, patients and the visitors
must be done prior to implementation of a health programme. The major responsibility of a
registered nurse is work according to the policies and routines laid down by the risk management
squad about the usage of the equipments that are provided to them for the care of the patients. It
is the responsibility of the practitioner to inform the department about the incompetence of the
instruments to prevent the mishaps in the organisation. This attribute helps in maintaining the
efficiency and effectiveness of the services that are rendered by the medical staff which further
helps in building the qualities of an effectual leadership, empowerment and enhancement in the
educational aspects of the staff (Qin, Gu and Su, 2022).
A comprehensive understanding of the NSW health’s core impressions - Cooperation,
Sociability,Esteem and Authorization
The effectual communication between the patients and the health department must be in
conformity to ensure a holistic approach towards the needs of the patients. It is necessary to
ensure that the career of the patient is not compromised in any way, after the completion of the
treatment and their following discharge from the hospital. The recognition of the individuality of
each and every patient must be fostered through an effective channel of communique. The
support which is required in any outlook must be acknowledged of the admitted individual along
with maintaining their integrity (Noonan, 2022). The quality of the health services that are
provided by the nurse practitioners must be in in accordance to the standards of the institution.
The information in every aspect has to be rendered to them with full disclosure of the situation of
their respective health.
A reflection on the CPD requirements while maintaining the registration with AHPRA and the
NMBA postulates
The reflective statements in regard to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is
thereby an influential impact that form a link between the developmental activities and their
relative actions. The knowledge that has been gained because of this signifiant study of the
regulations pertaining in the Nursing department of Australia was indeed an important region to

cover. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) is responsible for the formulation
of the necessary functions in order to regulate the laws associated with the Nurse Practitioners
and the health experts that are performing their respective duties in Australia (Gupta, Park and
Phaal, 2022). The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) is the domestic
organisation which is responsible for the implementation of the standards that are postulated by
the relative governing body i.e. the NMBA. The expertise that will be attained after
accomplishing the above-mentioned proficiencies will definitely help in the progression of the
applicant in order to sustain in the medical environment. The guidelines that are provided by the
dominating bodies of the country will help in the professional development of the individual in an
inclusive manner. The standards that are mentioned in the documentation have to be maintained
and any form of negligence in this regard can result in the termination of the individual's license
to work in the medical stations. The NMBA expects you to engage in the CPD activities that are
to performed by the practitioners to enhance their skills according to their respective duties. Thus,
by keeping in mind these significant aspects, there is a spectacular scope to improve the relevant
strengths in the area of the particular interests of the medical staff.
CONCLUSION
An inference can thus be made that a need of a continuous personal development in any
stream is mandatory to happen in order to sustain in that particular field for a longer period of
time. The importance of the cover letter that is presented by an applicant is an important
document, as it plays a vital role in determining the skilfulness of the participants to the managers
of an organisation. Thus it can be rightly said that the capabilities and the skills of an individual
helps them to stand out in the society in order to prove their worth in regard to the jobs they have
been appointed for.
