Nurse A British nurse caring for a baby in 2006 Occupation Names Nurse Occupation type Healthcare professional Activity sectors Nursing, Health care Description Competencies Caring for general well-being of patients Education required Qualifications in terms of statutory regulations according to national, state, or provincial legislation in each country Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in a wide diversity of practice areas with a different scope of practice and level of prescriber authority in each. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic public image of nurses as care providers. However, nurses are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on training level. In the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing. Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating illness to improve quality of life. In the U.S. (and increasingly the United Kingdom), advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies, depending on individual state regulations.

  • Position Statement
    Position Statement Nurse Licensure Compact The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows registered and licensed practical/vocational nurses who are licensed in one Compact state to practice in all other Compact states, physically, electronically, or telephonically. Nurses practicing under the NLC are subject to the nurse practice act, laws, and regulations of the state in which the patient is located. On January 19, 2018 the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) went into effect . Under the eNLC, nurses are able to provide care to patients in other eNLC states, without having to obtain additional licenses. Nurses with an original NLC multistate license were grandfathered into the eNLC. New applicants residing in compact states will need to meet requirements as outlined in the The Interstate Commision of Nurse Licensure Compact Adminstrators Final Rules. Those who do not meet the new licensure requirements may still be eligible for a single state license. The APRN Compact, adopted on August 12,2020, allows an advanced practice registered nurse to hold one multistate license with a privilege to practice in other compact states. The APRN Compact will be implemented when 7 states have enacted the legislation. Under the APRN Compact, APRNs are able to provide care to patients located across the country, without having to obtain additional licenses. ANNA supports the APRN Compact and: It is the position of the American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) that: • The NLC and eNLC helps to clarify authority for nurses engaged in interstate practice, i.e. case managers and others who work telephonically or electronically. It enables nurses to practice to the full extent of their education and training and serve patients who are often located in other states.
