Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

 

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.

· Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.

· Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion.

Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region (in my case the state of Georgia compare PMHNP and FNP) with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected

 

Sample Solution

lumes experience growth with varying degree. More over this period dominated with lower Consumer Prices Index (CPI), which resulted in rising real earnings or purchasing power of consumers. On the other hand consumer credit increased by 8.6%, which driving sales growth. Second phase defined between August 2008 and May 2013, where volume of retail sales fluctuated between periods of contraction and expansion, which partly explained by the economic climate when consumer credit reduced by 24.8%. Moreover, earnings fell in real terms during this period.

The third phase started in June 2013, this phase defined by growth in volume despite earnings growing at a slower rate than CPI until September 2014. From the month of June 2013 to June 2016, consumer credit increase by 18.8%. Between June 2013 and July 2016, the price level (shown by the implied deflator) fell by 5.1%, coinciding with 13.9% growth in the volume of retail food sales over this period. In addition, this increment of spending has been in line with decrease of savings ratio, from 8.6% for the year 2008 6.5% from Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) of the year 2013. Overall, despite such trends of difficulties in the economic performance, the extent of effect during this phase is small because demand of food is income-inelastic.
