These documents include: Criteria for Evaluation of Nurse Practitioner Programs (NTFQNPE, 2008); Consensus Model for APRN Regulation (NCSBN & APRN CWG, 2008); Essentials of Master's Education (AACN, 1996); Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (AACN, 2006); Education Standards for Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Programs (NANN, 2002); and Curriculum Guidelines for Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Education Programs (NANN, 2002).
