Week 5 Discussion
Professional Nursing
and State-Level Regulations
Boards of Nursing
(BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam,
the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also
exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the
public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice
state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the
requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that
state/region.
It can be a valuable
exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing.
Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future
changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed
in multiple states or regions.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources
and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the
protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.

Week 7 Discussion
Evidence Base in
Design
When politics and
medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or
hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these
and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used
to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease,
intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the
introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments
surrounding their safety.
In this Discussion,
you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of
the evidence in support of this policy.
To Prepare:
Review the Congress
website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5
years) proposed health policy.
Review the health
policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this
health policy.
