Discussion: Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulation

Similar entities may also exist for different region. The mission of BON is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. Bons put into practice state/region regulation for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience.
