NAPNAP Position Statement. Position Statement on  Credentialing and   Privileging for Nurse   Practitioners.
The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) recommends that all nurse practitioners (NPs) be credentialed and privileged to perform services that allow them to practice to the full extent of their education, certification, and licensure. This recommendation is supported by the Institute of Medicine in the report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine, 2011). Through the process of credentialing and privileging, individual NPs demonstrate competence for the skills required of their role and responsibility.
