MISSION STATEMENT 1 Mission Statement RUP1 Keri Philp Washington Governors University MISSION STATEMENT Mission Statement RUP1 A.Differences Between a Regulatory Agency and a Professional Nursing Organization. Within the mission statement for the Washington Board of Nursing (Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission) is “…to assure safe/quality nursing care for the people of Washington State” (Washington State Department of Health, 2014). Regulatory agencies such as the 2 Washington State Board of Nursing implement public safety by regulating the standards of nursing conduct and practice, licensing and continuing education for nurses by defining the scope of nursing practice, monitoring and auditing required continuing education credits (CE) and providing nurse licensure testing for qualified individuals. The board of nursing also investigates public and professional complaints against licensed practitioners. If the investigation of the accusations leads to verification of the complaint the Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission enforces disciplinary action which can include revocation of the practitioner’s license.
State boards of nursing ensure compliance with state nurse practice acts. To find information on a state nurse practice act from a particular state, go to, https://www.ncsbn.org/contactbon.htm, and click on the state.

To determine whether a new procedure falls within the RN scope of practice you would first clearly define the procedure at hand and ask if it was learned in your basic nursing program. If it was not part of a basic nursing program, determine if you learned the procedure as part of a comprehensive training program which included clinical experience, for example skills specialized to a specific floor or area of the hospital. Then determine if the procedure has become so commonplace in nursing literature and practice that it can reasonably be assumed within the scope, such as wound care and dressing. Find out if the procedure falls within your State Board of Nursing's scope of practice and then if it is in the hospital's policy and procedure manual, which the employer would believe to be within your scope of practice. Finally, determine if the procedure would pass the "reasonable and prudent" standard of nursing, meaning would a nurse with the same education and training perform the task.

My personal short-term goal is to buy a used care and my long-term goal is to obtain a bachelor’s degree in nursing. My professional short-term goal is to obtain a Level III nursing status and my long-term goal is to work my way into nursing management. In order to obtain the goals I have set, I will have to determine the steps which are needed for each goal as well as any barriers that could alter achievement.

To have any real sustainability as a company, education is a primary factor in the success, not just for the elite few, but also for the masses. The introduction of increased benefits in the tuition reimbursement program will send a significant message of respect and caring to employees. The application of the program will show benefits daily. What better to invest in
BSc ADULT NURSING SEPT 2010 COHORT | Research and Governance | NURS 08015: Site Lead: Fiona Miller | Word count 2739Date for Submission: 13/03/2012 | | Professionalism and Ethics in Nursing are intrinsically incorporated within Scottish, British and European law (Flemming and Parker, 2009). Nursing practice is directed by guidelines from the National Midwifery Council (NMC).

The school nurse has a comprehensive and complex role that reinforces the physical, psychological, emotional and social well-being of pupils.
