Week 7 discussion

Discussion Part One

You have completed your nurse practitioner education, likely one of the most challenging tasks you have ever undertaken. Several of your graduated colleagues live in different states, including California, Washington, and Illinois. After a year of primary care practice in your respective states, you get together for a reunion and share your practice perspectives. It is apparent that your experiences are not equal.

Discussion Question:

How do licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE) considerations differ for APN clinical roles for these three states: California, Washington and Illinois? Provide evidence for your response.

Discussion Part Two

Inconsistent regulation of APN role and scope prevent a seamless healthcare system in which APN can practice.

Discussion Question:

What evidence-based strategies should be implemented to achieve continuity between state regulatory boards? Provide evidence for your response.

Discussion Part Three

Once a seamless entry into practice is achieved, it will become more likely that independent practice will follow.

Discussion Question:

Is independent NP practice allowed in your state? Discuss your opinion regarding independent NP practice. Provide evidence for your response.
