I always make emphasis on the growing health needs patients and due to that “the education, accreditation, certification, and licensure of APRNs need to be effectively aligned in order to continue to ensure patient safety while expanding patient access to APRNs” (Consensus Model for APRN Regulation, 2008, p.5).  As we know, the APRN legal scope of practice and the criteria for entry into advanced practice are determined by the state in which the candidate lives. In other words “The states require that all APRNs carry current licensure as RNs.  Authority to practice as an APRN is tied to the scope of practice and varies from state to state, depending on the degree of practice autonomy that the APRN is granted” (Hamric, Hanson, Tracy & O’Grady, 2014, p.560).  That being said, in the state of Maryland, advanced practice nursing status is granted based on the educational level and certification of the individual applying for the licensure.  However, certification varies by specialty (NursingLicensure.org, 2017).

A new model that improves practice parameters and patient safety in my state is the “Full Practice Authority Act was passed in 2015 to allow APRN’s to practice independently” (NursingLicensure.org, 2017).  In this act, the APRN understands his/her roles in prescribing medications, and that she/he will be held liable if prescribe medications harm patients’ health.  Again, under this Act, APRN has right not to participate in patient care that is again the APRN moral autonomy and must demonstrate how to collaborate care with other physicians or advanced practitioners.  Again, “APRNs who plan to prescribe or dispense controlled substances will need to apply for a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) number, as required by federal and state policy” (www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov,cited in Hamric, Hanson, Tracy & O’Grady, 2014, p.561)

Again, another parameter that I observe is that new applicants who have never been certified as a CRNP in the state of Maryland or any other state must have a mentor name his/her application for certification, and that mentor may be a certified Maryland CRNP or Licensed Maryland physician” (Maryland Board of Nursing, 2017). This requirement can delay the release on the applicant license, so it is advisable to keep a list of mentors throughout the nursing program.

The consensus model for APRN regulation includes the principles of licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE). Licensure and scope of practice may be different from state to state and is the granting authority to practice.  Using the consensus model helps regulate the practice of advance practice nurses across the board while maintaining patient safety and expanding patient access to healthcare providers.  The new proposed regulatory model creates a uniform model for advanced practice nurses will increase access to patients and allow APRN’s to move easily from state to state (APRN Campaign for consensus: Moving toward Uniformity in State Laws, 2017). This regulatory model will be the way of the future.  Education includes graduate level education to include clinical experience.  Certification refers to graduates being eligible for national certification used for state licensure after completing graduate programs that are nationally accredited.  Accreditation is the formal review and approval by a recognized agency of educational degree or certification programs in nursing or nursing related programs (Consensus Model for APRN Regulation, 2008). Nebraska has 25 points equaling 89 percent completion of the proposed implementation of the new regulatory model. The discrepancy in Nebraska is that the certified nurse midwife is not yet independent and includes written collaboration and no independent prescribing.  Clinical nurse specialists in Nebraska do not have independent prescribing either (Major Components of the Consensus Model by State, 2017). According to The National Council State Board of Nursing, (2017), “If all states adopt the regulatory requirements for licensure, accreditation, certification, and education for APRNs, as outlined in the Consensus Model, the benefits will be far-reaching for health care professionals, regulators, and consumers” (p. 2).  This new model will improve parameters and patient safety by regulating consistently for public protection.
