State regulation

Hello Marine,

I agree with your views about the significance of nursing regulations and how they are actually working in your two selected states; Kentucky and Connecticut. I agree that APRN have acquired different statuses in the state of Kentucky such as midwife, clinical specialist and anesthetist. I agree that regulations play important role in promoting overall health of the patients by highlighting the requirements of practicing which allow only certified nurses to practice CITATION Nic15 \l 1033 (Blazek, 2015). I think that one of the most significant regulation of the Kentucky and Connecticut states is that the nurse must have background in nursing. They must possess certification program that assure that only competent nurses will be addressing the patients.

I agree with the post that the regulations of Illinois are effective for providing adequate care. This also minimizes the risks of unqualified nurses attending the patients. I agree that the regulations for APRN are encouraging them to develop nursing skills and acquire all qualifications that are crucial for joining the clinics or healthcare institutes. The nurse needs to prove her competency before getting a certificate for practice CITATION EMc14 \l 1033 (McCleery, Christensen, Peterson, Humphrey, & Helfand, 2014).

I believe that one of the significant advantages of these state regulations is minimization of medication errors. When hospitals will hire more capable and qualified nurses, fewer incidents will be reported about the medication errors or mismanagement. There are common regulations in Kentucky and Connecticut because both require that the nurse must obtain certification before becoming a practicing nurse. They can also prescribe controlled substances by following the instructions and guidelines of the state regulations. I agree that implementation of strict regulations have improved the quality of care and satisfaction of the patients.
