Guidelines for Comparative Analysis

The student will retrieve on-line the rules and regulations for advanced nurse practice and for prescriptive authority, from two (2) different states Florida and California

Students are expected to highlight the key differences and similarities in the regulations, prescriptive authority and certification process as well as discuss how this affects the daily practice of the APN and care provided to patient populations.

Be sure to discuss potential factors that drive the type of regulations present in selected states such as statistics of number of insured/uninsured individuals, Medicare/Medicaid coverage and reimbursement rates.
