1. Discuss your state NP community in terms of scope of practice. Include your
state’s scope of practice for NPs including:
Level of independence of practice
Prescribing authority
Any limitations of practice
Process for obtaining licensure in your state
Certification and education requirements for licensure.
2. If you live in a full practice, how has independent practice of the APN resulted in
improved patient access to healthcare?
3. How does access to NPs impacts any healthcare disparities?
