Please review the questions provided below. Open a Microsoft Word document and type the answers to the questions based upon what you learned inside Week 1’s content. Each question has specific writing requirement length noted. Be sure to follow the instructions for each question. Once you have answered the questions, save your document as “Week 1 Short Answer First Initial Last Name”. For example, my short answer document name would be “Week 1 Short Answer CCrum.doc”. APA formatting is expected. Additionally, you should cite and reference information from Week 1 to support your answers.

Question 1. Examine what Nurse Manager competencies (knowledge, skill, or ability) do you already bring to the table (compare with the ANA Nurse Manager Scope and Standards of Practice to answer). Name one competency. Explain how it relates to the ANA Scope and Standards of Practice for the role of the Nurse Manager. Explain why you chose it. 100-175 words or less not including the reference(s).

Question 2. As a future graduate of the Nursing Administration program, you are expected to set for (take) the Nurse Executive-Board Certified examination once you meet the eligibility criteria. Review the General Testing and Renewal Handbook (PDF). What is your personal plan (steps you can take) to ensure you are prepared to pass that examination (review resources from ANCC to answer)? What does that timeline look like for you to complete your plan and apply to take the test? 150-200 words or less not including the references

NOTE
Please review your APA guidebook for correct reference formatting.

For APA references capitalize only the first word of an article or book title. Capitalize proper nouns, initials, and acronyms in a title. After the colon capitalize the first letter of the subtitle. (Guillow et al., 2025)
