Part 2
What evidence-based strategies should be implemented to achieve
continuity between state regulatory boards? Provide evidence for
your response.
The APRN Consensus Model as described in a 2008 report by the APRN
Joint Dialogue Group, is a model for APRN regulation & is, “the product of
substantial work conducted by the Advanced Practice Nursing Consensus
Work Group & the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) APRN
Committee” (p. 5). Under the APRN Consensus Model, also known as the
APRN Model of Regulation or APRN Regulatory Model, the four roles of an
APRN include CRNA, CNM, CNS, or CNP &, “APRNs are educated in one of the
four roles & in at least one of six population foci: family/individual across the
lifespan, adult-gerontology, neonatal, pediatrics, women’s health/gender-
related or psych/mental health” (APRN Joint Dialogue Group, 2008, p. 10). By
implementing the APRN Consensus Model at perhaps the federal level,
continuity between state regulatory boards may be achieved, “The APRN
Regulatory Model applies to all elements of LACE. Each of these elements
plays an essential part in the implementation of the model” (APRN Joint
Dialogue Group, 2008, p. 7). According to the APRN Consensus Model report
from the APRN Joint Dialogue Group (2008), some expectations for LACE
include boards of nursing nationwide giving licensure to APRNs in the

categories of CRNA, CNM, CNS, or CNP within a specific population foci; that
the boards of nursing be solely responsible for the licensure of APRNs
providing licenses to graduates of accredited graduate programs only, &
requiring completion of a national certification examination prior to licensure.
The report also states all boards of nursing will license APRNs as,
“independent practitioners with no regulatory requirements for collaboration,
direction, or supervision” (APRN Joint Dialogue Group, 2008, p. 14).

Yes! Having identical licensure requirements & education st&ards would
improve consistency between state boards. Hopefully, this ongoing effort will
improve licensure from state to state.

Hello Dr Duncan & Class
Evidence-based strategies to be implemented to achieve continuity between state regulatory
boards
