Legislative efforts in both the Federal and State domains serve as guidelines for all levels of health policy; from Federal regulations that impact all people in the United States, all the way down to the bedside.  Bedside nursing practice is regulated by each State via their State Nurse Practice Act (NPA) which often includes a separate Rules and Regulations document.

In this discussion, you will explore your State’s Nurse Practice act.

Find your state’s NPA using this site: NCSBN’s Find Your Nurse Practice Act webpageLinks to an external site.

In your initial discussion response, please address the following:

  1. Your state
  2. Professions included in your State’s NPA.
  3. Compare scope of LPN vs. RN vs. APRN. What are the limitations of each?
  4. Rules for the Board of Nursing
  5. Delegation as described in the NPA
  6. Continuing Education Requirements.
  7. Reflect:
    1. What is something you learned while exploring your State’s NPA?
    2. Is the scope, as stated in the NPA, for an RN adequately integrated in your nursing model of care at your institution? If yes, how? If no, what are the steps for aligning the NPA and the nursing structure at your facility?
