Nursing Role Delineation

The role delineation section allows the reader to identify how you will actualize each competency
outlined by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculty (NONPF) and the AACN. It is
as unique as each student. You may write a narrative and include supporting documents to
highlight your activities. Ultimately it shows the progression towards the program goals.
