    ARNP Scope Of Practice: A Case Study

    The significant state-to-state variation of ARNP scope of practice creates some formidable barriers to the continuing advancement the profession, especially in the realm of autonomy. The impact of these variations include impeding acceptance of advance practice nurses as primary practitioners, both with organized medicine, as well as with insurance payers. In fact, even in states that grant ARNPs full autonomy, some payers impose more restrictive requirements and require APRNs to bill for their services under a physician’s name, or reimburse at a lower rate (Hain & Fleck, 2014). The disparity from state to state also has federal agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission, investigating their role in the regulation of the nursing profession…

    WGU RUP1 Project guide 010514

    The Professional Nursing Organizations and Regulatory Agencies for Nursing are what nursing professionals look to for standards, guidance, support, rules and regulations, along with licensure and discipline if necessary. One example of a professional nursing organization (PNO) would be the American Nurses Association (ANA). The role of the ANA includes: promotion/ development of the nursing profession, involvement with legislation and policy making, supporting the nurse in order for the nurse to provide quality care for the those receiving care. The mission statement of the ANA is simple and direct... "nurses advancing our profession to improve health for all" (ANA, 2014). Individuals can become full members of this organization or be a subscriber. Full membership/ full access requirements include a Registered Nurse license and a membership fee. Subscribers can be non- RNs, paying a fee, but this does not include full access to all resources. Being a member of the ANA presents many benefits including possible connections with all levels of medical professionals and access to a multitude of resources and articles. Reasons why a nursing professional may not become a member of the ANA could include unawareness of how easily membership can be obtained, knowing that membership fees exist, or the fact that many resources are accessible on the internet easily for free. Regulatory Agencies for nursing usually are at a state level, such as the State of Tennessee Board of Nursing (BON). The TN BON mission statement is direct and includes "... mission is to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of Tennesseans by requiring that all who practice within this state are qualified and licensed to practice" (TNBON, 2014). The TN BON is backed by the governor, which selects the members of the board and includes 11 members (10 nursing professionals/ 1 consumer). This board is…

    The Effects of the 2010 Iom Report on the Future of Nursing

    With changes in healthcare such as the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), nurses will be playing an ever increasing role in patient centered care as healthcare moves away from acute and specialty care, and focuses more on primary care. Today the top providers of primary care are physicians (287,000), nurse practitioners (83,000), and physician assistants (23,000) (Steinwald, 2008; HRSA, 2008). The demand for advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) is expected to increase dramatically to accommodate patients seeking primary care. The IOM suggests that to prepare for this increased demand for nurse practitioners “all health care professionals should practice to the full extent of their education and training so that more patients may benefit” (IOM, 2010, p. 96). This would include standardizing the scope of practice nationwide. Across the United States, scopes of practice vary widely, inhibiting many nurses to provide the full scope…

    Outline the process for developing nursing standards of practice, and identify the different entities that might be involved in developing a standard of practice.

    The standards of practice for the RN are made up by the state board of nursing that the nurse lives in. It is each nurse’s responsibility to know and abide by their standards of practice for their state. Each state develops their standards of practice by following guidelines that the American Nurses Association (ANA) provides. The ANA has a committee on Nursing Practice Standards and Guidelines that has a duty to clarify the role and relationships that are associated with regulation of all nursing practice (ANA, n.d.). “The model recognizes the contributions of professional and specialty nursing organizations, educational institutions, credentialing and accrediting organizations, and regulatory agencies; clarifies the role of workplace policies and procedures; and confirms the individual nurse’s ultimate responsibility and accountability for defining nursing practice” (ANA, n.d.).…

According to the American Nurses Credentialing Center or ANCC (2012) the APRN Consensus Model will enable APRNs to practice to the full extent of the education they receive and their licensure. It will also provide a more easy way for APRNs to move from state to state and easily be able to obtain new opportunities in this field.…

    Bsn Nursing

    Currently , there are three types of Registered nurses: the diploma nurse, the associate’s degree nurse and the Bachelor 's Degree nurse. The diploma nurse attends a hospital based program which varies from 18-24 months. The Associate 's degree nurse attends either a community college or university and is about three years. The Bachelor 's Degree is a four year program at a university. There have been copious debates about the minimum required education of being a professional nurse. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), American Nurses Association (ANA) and other leading nursing organizations recognize the BSN degree as the minimum educational requirement for professional nursing practice (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2013). With the health reform, the healthcare system is using more evidence based, cost effective goals. To ensure the goals are met, health care professions should be educated and have advanced skills. Having a nurse with a BSN shows that this nurse has education, some advance skills, and is able to be further educated. However, there are still diploma and Associate Degree nurses practicing. They should be encouraged to continue their education to help fulfill the nursing gap between new nurses entering and seasoned nurses retiring.…

    Why Become A Nurse Practitioner

    When I was young, I already know what I wanted to be when I grow up, and that is to become a Pediatrician. The reason why I wanted to become a Pediatrician was because my younger brother has a weaker immune system than I have, and he gets sick easily than I do. Growing up in a poor family, I noticed that getting quality care or immediate health attention for the rest of my family, my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins was impossible. That’s when I decided to change my career goal, and that is to be a Nurse Practitioner. The reason why I wanted to become a Nurse Practitioner is because the quality of my care for my whole family will be greater and convenient will be convenient for them, and I will be the very first person in the family who’ll pursue for a higher educational attainment.…

    Credentialing In Healthcare Facilities

    Before a nurse practitioner applicant can apply for Advanced Practice Professional Nurses (APPN) licensure, they must first have obtained an RN license by the Idaho Board of Nursing (Graduate Nursing EDU, n.d.). Along with an RN license, there are education requirements for the applicant as well. The application for APPN requires that the applicant must “complete a Board-approved graduate-level APPN program resulting in at least a master’s degree” (Graduate Nursing EDU, n.d.). The third requirement for licensure pertains to certification. Applicants seeking APPN licensure in Idaho must also make sure that they become nationally certified by completing an exam and to make sure that the Idaho Board of Nursing “recognizes” the accredited agency (Nurse Journal, n.d.). With these requirements, potential nurse practitioners may apply for their license. The Idaho Board of Nursing allows two options for Advanced Practice Professional Nurses to apply for state licensure. The two applications for licensure are licensure by endorsement and licensure by examination (State of Idaho Board of Nursing, n.d.). Credentialing nurse practitioners deals with many educational and accreditation…
