NONPF 39th Annual Meeting
An IPE course and discussion forum were created in the university’s learning management system. Students were required to post responses to the following questions. “What was the most important thing you learned from the interaction?” and “What was the most surprising thing you learned as the result of your conversation?”
Responses to these questions ranged from commenting on the value of interprofessional education and collaboration - to noting similarities in reasons professions were chosen - to discussion about online education and testing - to observations about the roles of nurses (RNs) - to surprise at the differences in scopes of FNP practice in different states. Additionally, there were some comments that were not completely accurate.
A description of these findings will be presented. The analyses of the results will provider nurse practitioner faculty an assessment tool to determine the knowledge of first semester FNP students about their future role and scope of practice. Faculty will then have opportunities to correct any misinformation that may have either been given by the FNP students or misinterpreted by the pharmacy students.
