Use knowledge transfer techniques to ensure research based knowledge is put into use. Advanced judgment and decision making. Critically analyze and influence health policies. I believe that I am academically qualified for the task. Some of the qualifications I posses that are relevant to advanced nursing practice include:

Post Graduate Diploma in Strategic Management: Advanced nursing requires the incorporation of other disciples into the practice of learning to ensure efficiency.
A post graduate diploma in strategic management clearly displays my lifelong commitment to learning which is a key characteristic of advanced nursing practice, it also provides me with multiple avenues through which to resolve problems and base decision making. This advanced knowledge ensures proper decision making and proves my worth in the field of research and development.

Experience To develop competencies required for the advanced nursing practice, one require both a good nursing background and clinical experience.
