?Protecting Your Scope of Practice for Nurses

Protecting Your Scope of Practice

Protecting the scope of practice for nurses, particularly advanced practice registered nurses, is a major initiative


at

the American Nurses Association (ANA) 2016. The ANA is working together with our Constituent Member (State) Associations to help remove geographic and practice setting limitations for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). The ANA is working state by state to ensure that state laws affecting APRN’s are both fair and consistent across the


country,

and that your scope of practice is not unfairly limited.

Discuss how this initiative and how it will impact your future as an APRN and your clinical practice in the state in which you live. Include sources to support your assignment.
