MISSION STATEMENT ASPMN® is committed to promoting the highest standard of professionalism in Pain Management Nursing (PMN), consumer care and safety by providing recognition of Advanced Practice (AP) in PMN. The ASPMN® AP Commission grants recognition to individuals who have met predetermined standards demonstrating an elite level of practice and professional contribution. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the ASPMN® AP recognition program are to affirm excellence by:
1. Formally recognizing individuals who meet the standards of the ASPMN® AP program. 2. Encouraging continued professional growth in PMN. 3. Providing a standard of advanced professionalism required for recognition, thereby assisting the employer, public
and members of healthcare professions in the assessment of the AP Pain Management Nurse.
ASPMN® established the AP recognition program at the request of Advanced Practice Nurses specializing in pain management. Activities required for AP-PMN recognition go beyond routine, entry-level PMN practice, and challenge individual applicants to contribute to the art and science of the specialty. The applicant’s AP portfolio will demonstrate their achievements in AP. Therefore, each packet will be unique and reflect the interests and contributions of each individual practitioner.

registered nurse anesthetist, or certified nurse midwife (a copy of your diploma or transcripts is required). 4. Demonstrate professional contributions to the advancement of AP-PMN (not all areas listed below
are required) within the previous 5 year period as an APRN: A. Continuing education B. Programs or projects C. Research D. Education/Publication E. Teaching F. Involvement in professional organizations G. Academic education/AP certifications H. Projects/Activities not defined

POINT LOG

• 20 points from clinically focused pain management (PM) continuing education (CE) are required; up to 40 points are allowed. o The additional 20 points may be obtained in topics related to pain management, or professional practice (PP),
directly related to pain management nursing. o Professional practice is defined as courses or activities that are not clinically related to pain management but
impact or enhance the role of AP-PMN. Examples of PP topics would be “Pain Management Legal Issues,” “Preceptor Workshop.” CEs related to such topics as domestic violence, safety, HIPPA, CPR, etc., are not acceptable because they
are not specific to pain management practice.
• To earn points for CE, it is important you submit a complete listing of each individual educational session you attended during a conference or program. For example, if you attend ASPMN®’s National Conference and earn 18 contact hours, you must individually list each session title on the Category A verification form.
• CE programs, including home-study or self-study programs must be sponsored by accredited or approved providers such as a state nursing association, the American Nurses Credentialing Center, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, or other professional associations.
• Contact Hour (CME, CNE, CEU) = 60 minutes = 1 AP Point
• It is not necessary to submit a copy of the CE certificate. However, the ASPMN® AP Commission reserves the right to selectively audit portfolios and request documentation of programs attended and CE’s awarded. Therefore, applicants are advised to keep the certificate of attendance or completion that includes your name, date, program title and the number of contact hours awarded.

• 10 points are required; up to 40 points are allowed.
• To receive points in this category, your documentation must demonstrate having had the primary responsibility for developing, implementing and evaluating the program, conducting the project, or case.
• Activities in this category more clearly demonstrate the achievement of AP and include more complex activities requiring multiple steps for completion and/or significant preparation. This is reflected in the larger number of points assigned to these activities.
• Some of these activities may be performed due to employer directives but some are independent of employment status.
• One activity (e.g. QI project resulting in a clinical pathway development and data collection/analysis) may be used for multiple activities (e.g. B5, B6, B7). A separate verification form is required for each activity (e.g. B5, B6 and B7).
• * Please refer to “Definitions of AP Terms” at the end of this packet for complete description and examples of activities.

Brochure/Pamphlet: Summary of information regarding a product or service. Example: You develop a tri-fold marketing piece outlining the Pain Management Services offered at your hospital.
Clinical Pathway: A clinical pathway is intended to be a multidisciplinary patient plan of care.

Example: You develop a pain management competency test for the nursing staff that consists of a scenario to evaluate a pain management patient when the patient is not able to self-report pain. The nursing staff then completes a CPOT scale, and documents the results and proposed treatment plan in the patient record.
Contributing Author: Name is cited as a contributing author in the published textbook or chapter. Forum or Advisory Panel: Providing a voluntary role as a consultant on various Pain Management issues, i.e., Manufacturers advisory panels, new product development/advancing products, reviewing manufacturers literature, etc.
