Key Messages
1.
Nurses should practice to the full extent of their
education and training.
2. Nurses should achieve higher levels of education
and training through an improved education system
that promotes seamless academic progression.
3. Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and
other health care professionals, in redesigning health
care in the United States.
4. Effective workforce planning and policy making
require better data collection and an improved
information infrastructure.
Key Message #1.
Nurses should practice to the full
extent of their education and training.
–The variability of scope-of-practice regulations across
states may hinder advanced practice nurses from giving
care they were trained to provide and contributing to
innovative health care delivery solutions.
–Although some states have regulations that allow nurse
practitioners to see patients and prescribe medications
without a physician’s supervision, a majority of states do
not.
–The federal government is well suited to promote reform
of states’ scope-of-practice laws by sharing and providing
incentives for the adoption of best practices.
Scope of
practice laws
are statebased and
politically
driven…

… resulting in
state
variability
and
unnecessary
limitations on
practice.

Recommendation # 1
Remove Scope of Practice Barriers
Advanced practice registered nurses should be able to
practice to the full extent of their education and training. To
achieve this goal, the committee recommends actions for
the following entities:
 State Legislatures
 Congress
 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
 Office of Personnel Management
 Federal Trade Commission and Antitrust Division of
the Department of Justice
