Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.
Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.
To Prepare:
• Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
• Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.
The Assignment: (9- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation)
Develop a 9- to 10-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:
• Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
• Describe the geographic distribution, academic credentials, practice positions, and licensure status of members of the board for your specific region/area.
o Who is on the board?
o How does one become a member of the board?
• Describe at least one federal regulation for healthcare.
o How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare (e.g., CMS, OSHA, and EPA)?
o Has there been any change to the regulation within the past 5 years? Explain.
• Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
o How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
o How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
• Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).
o How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
o How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
• Include Speaker Notes on Each Slide (except on the title page and reference page)

Sample Solution

han two months until the other peaks of the mountain surface. Utanapishtim boat rested on Mount Nimush, which translates to “Mountain of Salvation.”
The two men both sent out birds while the boat/ark floated around the sea. Utanapishtim sent out three different birds and Noah only sent two. Utanapishtim first sends out a dove that left and returned because it did not find a landing-place. Next he sent out a swallow and it returned because of the same reason. Lastly he sent out a raven which did not return. Likewise, Noah sent out his raven and it did not find land. Noah sent out his dove three times and the last time it did not return.
The last few likeness between the two stories is toward the end. Utnapishtim and Noah both show respect to the divine by offering sacrifices and are remunerated. Enlil grants Utnapishtim and his wife with immortality and God says to Noah and his sons “ Be fruitful and multiply.”(Gen.9). Finally, in two forms a sign is given to prove that the divine will not destroy the earth in a flood ever again. In Genesis, God said “My bow I have set in the clouds to be a sign.”(Gen.9). In Gilgamesh, “these shall be my lapis necklace, lest I forget,”(XI.169).
In the two stories you have a similar fundamental storyline, but it is obvious the littler points of interest are vastly different. There are also many messages conveyed but the one that stands out the most is salvation. When Utnapishtim was told to build a cubical boat, he did not question the divine knowledge he just listened. In the story of Noah and the flood, “God commanded him, so he did.”(Gen.7.) They both were obedient because they also believed that God and the gods were going to get them through their situation. God and the gods showed that even through the sin humans created, that they forgave them and were going to do everything to keep the boat and ark safe.
