Instructions

During this course, you will be developing an Individual Professional Practice Document (IPPD) that will identify the regulations, requirements, certification, and rules of the state in which you plan to practice as an APRN upon graduation. As you complete certain modules, you will be asked to add to the IPPD, so it is essential that you keep it handy and edit it along the way as you receive feedback from your faculty. Adding to the document with each assignment will produce a complete document by the end of the course. Using the document you submitted in Week 1 Assignment 2: Individual Professional Practice Document: NP Title, Definition, and Consensus Model, please add the following information:

This document is located on each State Board of Nursing’s website and will identify the regulations for the NP scope of practice for that state. Appendix 2A in the Buppert textbook provides you with additional information although the website will be most current. Please review the nurse practice act and provide a summary of the scope of practice for NPs in the state you intend to practice.
