1. Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development
Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff DevelopmentRegulation for Nursing Practice Staff
DevelopmentNursing 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.ORDER NOW FOR
ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSBoth 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. You
will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.To Prepare:Assume that you are
leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare
organization or agency.Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your

Slide (except on the title page and reference page)You must proofread your paper. But do
not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious

2. errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument. Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development
