title: State boards of nursing and issues of advanced practice.
abstract: Technological advances in today's health care arena and the evolution of the nursing profession have resulted in many questions about scope-of-practice issues. These questions are of a legal nature and frequently must be addressed by the board of nursing in each state. The results of a survey of all state boards of nursing are discussed along with recommendations for the preparation needed to approach a state board of nursing.
