Additionally, you need to have a title for your paper (reasonably large print size) about 1/4 of the way down from the top of the page.

WARNING: There has been a serious tendency for students to ignore proper punctuation in their papers, lately. This is especially true with leaving out most or all commas.

Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting

/0 Comments/in /by

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.
