Assignment Prompt

The main purpose of the Professional Portfolio is to provide a package of materials, which can be used by you, the prospective family nurse practitioner (FNP) when seeking an employment position. Its contents include descriptions of your abilities, accomplishments, and goals, as well as providing information regarding the FNP's scope of practice in your state. The contents of your Professional Portfolio should include a table of contents and all of the following documents listed. At home, you can print your documents and use tabs to separate each section and place each document in a sheet protector plastic with the opening on top and ring holes on the side. For the course, it will be submitted in an electronic form, as a PDF or word document, and the student should submit it to D2L. Please pay attention to style and formatting as you incorporate consistent text size, font and style, bullets, etc. throughout your document. Please make sure certificates, licenses, or other images are rotated and sized properly for the viewer. Documents that are not uploaded legibly or correctly will be cause for loss of points. This is not an APA style paper, but please use page numbers and a professional styling system.
