Clinical Competencies Assessment for Nurse Practitioners
Stop Guessing Your Clinical Level
If you cannot clearly evidence your clinical capability, others will decide it for you.
That impacts your scope, your contracts, your credibility and ultimately your earning potential.
The 4NP Clinical Competencies Assessment exists to cut through opinion, hierarchy, and gatekeeping and give you clarity on where you actually sit as a nurse practitioner.
Why This Assessment Matters
Too many nurse practitioners are told:
“You’re not quite ready yet”
“You need more time”
“That’s just how NP roles work here”
Without an objective framework, those statements go unchallenged.
This assessment benchmarks your real clinical practice, not assumptions based on time served or workplace politics.
What the Assessment Measures
The Clinical Competencies Assessment evaluates your practice across core NP domains, including:
Clinical judgement and decision-making
Level of independence and autonomy
Safety, scope, and accountability
Use of supervision and escalation
The outcome clearly places you within one of four recognised clinical levels:
Dependent – developing and requiring close support
Assisted – building capability with guided input
Strong Developing – clinically capable with supervision
Proficient – independent, competent, and safe
What You Get
When you complete the assessment, you gain:
Clear insight into your current clinical level
Language to articulate your capability
Evidence to support scope, role design and contract discussions
Direction for targeted professional development
This is not about judgement. t is about clarity, confidence and leverage.
Who This Is For
This assessment is designed for nurse practitioners who:
Want to understand their true clinical standing
Are preparing for contract or role negotiations
Feel underestimated or boxed into restrictive scopes
Want an objective view of their professional practice

If you do not define your clinical capability, someone else will.
