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.

Submit your Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting Presentation.

Reflect upon the survey you took. In your initial response, address some of the following questions. Explain your answers.

• Did you find it easy to make confident and decisive decisions with several strongly agree or strongly disagree answers, or did you select mostly moderate responses?
• Did any subject areas trigger personal emotions or issues?  If so, do you feel you were able to remain objective? 
• Were any of the decisions especially difficult to make?
• Did you employ any critical thinking or resolution strategies to determine a response?
• Did you rely on policy or legal parameters to make your decisions? 
• Would you be comfortable making your answers to the survey public, or do you prefer anonymity?
• Have you dealt with similar situations and could you perceive similar situations occurring in your clinical practice?
• How might a moral inventory such as this survey impact your clinical practice?

Please share additional thoughts as well.

The development of nursing knowledge is an ongoing process. Discuss the case for the ongoing development and use of nursing grand theories and conversely, make a case for the obsolescence of nursing grand theories for today’s practice and research.
