State regulation
Hello Jelilat,
I like your post because you have conducted a detailed comparison of Connecticut and Texas. I agree that nurses must possess adequate knowledge because they could improve or deteriorate health of patients. I believe that board of nursing exists in most states of America but Connecticut and Texas specifically aim for implementing regulations that will enhance public protection. I agree that by governing nurse practices, that states are able to eliminate wrong nursing practices such as negligence, errors in medications or treatment. The board ensures that the nurses follow adequate standards and principles that are required for performing their role efficiently in the healthcare organizations CITATION Lin17 \l 1033 (Coventry, et al., 2017). Rules and regulations enhance their efficiency and capability of treating patients appropriately CITATION Nic15 \l 1033 (Blazek, 2015).
I agree with the point that the nurse must possess RN license for practicing in Texas and even at other states. Personnel policies are also part of the regulations that highlights the conditions of employment, terms of the contract, leaves, insurance and other benefits. The regulations states that the nurses must possess adequate education and knowledge about the healthcare activities such as the right procedures of screening and X-ray CITATION Lin17 \l 1033 (Coventry, et al., 2017).
I also like the discussion because Jeliat has included the role of nursing regulations in Illinois. Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist and Certified Registered Nurse are essential requirements for the nurses who are aiming to work in the state of Illinois CITATION Nic15 \l 1033 (Blazek, 2015). I think that the regulations are critical because they minimize the risks of causing damages to the health of the patients such as by neglecting the prescription or failing to follow proper instructions. Regulations are important for improving the overall quality of healthcare system and increase satisfaction of the patients.
