Ana State Board Of Nursing Case Study

The Kentucky Nursing Board oversees the delegation of the entire practice and its practitioners in accordance to the KRS Chapter 13A.

The Indiana State Board of Nursing is a professional licensing agency that is accountable for the regulation of nursing practice. The board looks over all nursing practices in Indiana to make sure they are safe and effective. The board has different administrative positions, set by the Indiana General Assembly, such as the governor of state, a state agency, state official and organization. ISBN has the power to issue or suspend nursing license in Indiana. Some typical duties of the ISBN are to develop practice standards, enforce nurse practice acts, accredit/approve nursing schools, and develop polices, administrative rules and regulations.

Nursing practice is controlled by the individual, state’s Board of Nursing, which oversees and defines the nurses’ scope of practice; hence, ensures that nursing practice is guided by the nurse practice act of that state. Legislation also influences nursing practice, with technology facilitating new break-through in scientific research; the need for changes and or advances in healthcare are detrimental to new and improved regulations within the individual states or at a national level. Additionally, private and or public corporations also affect the practice of nursing in different ways; the policies and funding within these entities may limit the resources

The aim of this study is to provide a detailed account of the nursing care for a patient who is experiencing a breakdown in health. One aspect of their care will be discussed in relation to the nursing process. The model used to provide an individualised programme of care will be discussed and critically analysed.

The Illinois State Board of Nursing is overseen by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). To have an agency that ensures the safe practice of nursing by monitoring license compliance and to take action against those that practice unsafely, protects the safety of the public. Therefore, any person who deems a nurse’s behavior or action in violation of a law or rule can file a complaint.

I thought the span of the control is appropriate. According to the textbook, the main purpose of the State Boards of Nursing is to protect the public by ensuring that nurses are competent and safe, serving to regulate those who come under its provision and prevent those not addressed within the act from practicing nursing. Each state sets standards for and approves schools that can train nursing students to be eligible to sit for the NCLEX examination in that state. According to the http://health.state.tn.us/boards/nursing/, schools not meeting standards are investigated and the board is authorized to place the school on conditional approval or close the program if standards are not

In California, the Board of Registered Nursing is the regulatory agency mandated by law to ensuring the quality registered nurses in the state is enhanced in order to protect the health and safety of the public. The Board authority is provided by the California State Government

The meeting I attended was the Arizona State Board of Nursing via livestream on September 17, 2015. This meeting is open to the public to attend or watch online livestream which is what I did. The members of attendance were: Board President Randy C. Quinn, RN, MSN, CRNA, Board Vice President Carolyn Jo McCormies, RN, MS, FNP-BC, Board Secretary Terri Berrigan, LPN, C-AL, and Board Members Lori A. Gutierrez, BS, RN-C, DON-CLTC, CBN, Jana Machesky, LPN, Kathryn L. Busby, J.D., Dr. Kimberly A. Post, DPN, MBA/HCM, RN, NEA-BC, M. Shawn Harrell, RN, MS, and lastly Melinda Pheanis Preston, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC. According to the Arizona Board of Nursing mission statement their organization protects and promotes the welfare of the public ensuring that each person holding a nursing license of the practice of nursing license or certificate is competent to practice safely (“Mission Statement,” n.d.). The purpose of these board meetings is to discuss any regulations that need investigating so they keep the nursing standards to protect the public. This involves bringing forth nurses to discuss any disciplinary actions that have been brought up against them or that needs further review.

The Virginia Board of Nursing has one main purpose: to keep the general public safe. There are twelve volunteer board members who carry the responsibility of giving a defendant a chance to explain the motive for their actions that merited the Formal Hearing. The board takes the time to listen to witnesses, investigators, and other pertinent persons that are involved in the case. They will then go into a closed session and make a collaborative decision whether the defendant is safe and competent to practice under their nursing license.

The Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN) provides information to the public about the services of the Board of Nursing (OBN, n.d.). The purpose of the OBN is to “safeguard the public’s health by ensuring that licensed nurses are qualified and competent to practice” (OBN, n.d.). The public has access to the OBN to inquire on current licensed nurses, Nurse Practice Act, and guidelines about nursing care (OBN, n.d.). The American Nurses Association (ANA) is the “only full-service professional organization” that represents registered nurses’ interest through associations and partners (ANA, 2014). Their mission is “nurses advancing our profession to improve health for all” (ANA, 2014). They promote nursing practice by setting high standards, promoting nurses’ rights, leading a realistic outlook of nursing, and “by lobbying the Congress and regulatory agencies on health care issues affecting nurses and the public” (ANA, 2014). The National League for Nursing (NLN) is an organization for any nursing-related faculty offering “faculty development programs, networking opportunities, testing and assessment, nursing research grants, and public policy” (NLN, 2013). Their mission is to “promote excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse nursing workforce to advance the nations health” (NLN, 2013).

In addition to these organizations, each state has their own Board of Nursing who regulates state requirements of nursing education programs. The State Board of Nursing participates in the accreditation of these programs as well as developing nursing practice standards, policies, and enforcing rules and regulations. They are responsible for the administration, renewal, and suspension of license to registered nurses within the state where they practice. The State Board of Nursing suspends or revokes a license if a nurse’s conduct violates provisions in the licensing statute based on administrative law rules that implement and enforce the statute.

The experience I had at the State Board of nursing cases was very interesting. I was surprised there were so many nurses and other individuals who participate in the process of disciplining nurses. The entire process was very professional yet intimidating. I felt as though the language they used was very professional in a legal setting but very intimidating to me because I have never been in a legal setting before. I felt that the language used could be very confusing to someone who has never been in that situation.

This question took me for a loop. It is just vague enough for me to not quite understand what the question is asking. For the most part, a nurse controls how he/she wants to practice their profession. However, there are policies and regulations in place that also control the practice of nursing. Policies are created to protect all parties involved, rather it be, the patient, the nurse, or the facility. Regulations dictate what a nurse can and cannot do within their scope of practice. Whether at a hospital or a rehabilitation facility, policies and regulations control what the nurse can do in any situation.
