NR 510 Week 1: Barriers to Practice Discussion
Read the assigned Hain & Fleck article, & discuss the following:
What are the barriers to APN practice identified in the article? Describe these barriers in your
own words.
What are your impression of the barriers to APN Practice? (Are you surprised by these
barriers? Is this new information to you? Have you ever been involved at the legislative level in
nursing? Do these barriers concern you or motivate you toward becoming an APN?)
Do these barriers represent Restraint of Trade? Why, or why not?
Your thoughts on how nurses can influence these barriers.
RESPONSE:
The article by Hain & Fleck was very informative & has given me a better insight of the struggles &
barriers nurse practitioners are facing in their role as primary care providers.
I was already aware of
some of the barriers described in this article, but not to their fullest extent.
Hain & Fleck (2014) provide
three main barriers: state practice & licensure, physician related issues, & payer policies.
