Review your state’s nurse practice act (Florida), including rules and regulations that the state board of nursing has promulgated for the profession. You may need to read two acts if RNs and LPNs/LVNs come under different licensing boards. 1. How does your state address advanced practice? 2. How do the definitions of nursing vary for RNs, LPNs/LVNs, and advanced practice registered nurses? 3. Describe why it is vital that the nurse manager understands these distinctions.
