N5341: APRN Role Transition Interview Questions and Article Analysis

This assignment focuses on preparing for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) job interview by developing ten relevant questions. The student selected a scholarly article discussing APRN role transition and used it as the foundation for the interview questions. The assignment requires the questions to be presented in a bulleted format, as if the student is asking them during an interview. Additionally, the student provides a brief synopsis of the chosen article, summarizing its key points and explaining the rationale behind its selection, adhering to APA format. The selected article emphasizes the importance of effective communication and the role of simulation in fostering interprofessional and intraprofessional education to improve patient outcomes and facilitate the transition from a bedside nurse to a provider role. The student also highlights how simulation helps in developing critical skills and decision-making abilities necessary for success in the APRN role.

 What qualities do I need to develop to be successful as a nurse practitioner?
 How can simulation help to develop interprofessional and intraprofessional
education? Is interprofessional and intraprofessional education dependent on each
other? Among intraprofessional and interprofessional education which is more
important?
 What benefits does interprofessional simulation offer and how does it justify my role
as a nurse practitioner? How is the role described through interprofessional
simulation?
 Where and how would I develop these skills?
 How much will the course work help me to apply those skills in clinical settings while
handling a critical situation?
 Which process will be followed in this transition process?
 What impact will be there in my career choice if I miss any of the processes?
 What Jeffries Simulation theory suggests?
 How to provide patient-centred care?
 What impact can have on the patient if ineffective communication persists?
Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) is a blanket term for nursing practitioners (NPs) and
registered nurses (RNs) who combine graduate nursing education with in-depth, advanced
clinical nursing experience and skills in nuanced decision-making to meet patients, families,
associations, communities and populations health needs. This article has been chosen as it
well articulates the role of advance practice registered nursing with a clear mention of all the
attributes that nurse would require in a critical situation while dealing with patients in clinical
settings. The importance of communication has been highlighted in this article which proofs
that effective communication is necessary for a nurse practitioner to enhance patient
outcome. To improve communication an effective tool has been identified that enhanced the

communication skill of both undergraduate and graduate nursing students. Through
simulation-based education (SBE), the members of health care teams build and enhance
communication skills. The article suggests that simulation will promote interprofessional
education and intra-professional education with ease. This article suggests that intra-
professional interaction between graduates and undergraduates provides many advantages,
including self-reported effectiveness.
The complex role of APN demonstrated that the transition becomes easy with the help of
simulation. The design of simulation was based on best practice principles set out by the
International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Standards
of Best Practice. The article recommends that to justify their role in the clinical setting, an
advance practice nurse must modify and develop theirs though process. In advanced practice
curriculum, simulation helps to decode details given by undergraduate nurses when assisting
the nurse in position change, generating a mindset for the provider. This article evaluates a
strong anecdotal feedback from the learners involved in simulation-based communication
education. The training is strengthened with a method to conduct intra-professional contact.
In this article, learnings were gained through process evaluation. These included those
pertaining to availability, role transition, focus, debriefing, and miscellaneous. This article
gives a clear perception of the change of role from a bedside nurse to a provider and team
member needs adequate input from the group. SBE provides the conditions for engaging and
learning in a healthy setting when replicating potentially severe circumstances (Guido-Sanz
et al., 2019).
