Discussion Prompt
Review the American Association for Nurse Practitioners (AANP) ‘State Practice Environment’ map (2023) and determine your state’s APN practice environment color – green (full practice), yellow (reduced practice), or red (restricted practice). Next, review your state’s Nurse Practice Act as it pertains to advanced nursing practice. Use the information obtained to address the following prompts:
American Assocation of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). (2024). State practice environment. State Advocacy. https://www.aanp.org/advocacy/state/state-practice-environment
National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN). (2024). Find your nurse practice act. Policy. https://www.ncsbn.org/policy/npa.page
Use the information obtained to address the following prompts:
What is your state’s designation on the AANP ‘State Practice Environment’ map (green, yellow, or red)?
Which aspects of practice regulations support this designation?
Are NPs able to practice independently in the state?
Does your state require NPs to have a collaboration or supervisory agreement with a physician?
Give 1-2 examples of identified barriers to NP practice in the state.
Does your state require ‘residency’ hours with a physician or NP before the NP can practice independently? How many hours?
Do you support having residency hours as a requirement for independent practice?
Would you consider a post-graduate fellowship for NPs in your desired specialty?
Guided Response:
Respond to at least 2 of your peers, one on a different day than the main post.
In your response, it is important to be respectful, make your response meaningful, and express yourself clearly. It is a best practice to not use unsupported personal opinions, generalizations, or language that might be viewed as offensive to others. If you are trying to extend a discussion, consider using probing questions. If providing a disagreement to a peer post, remain respectful, considerate, and maintain an academic tone.
