Assignment: Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff
Development Meeting
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.
