Nursing Scope of Practice and Continuing Education
Legal Scope of Practice Online Course
Effective December 2017, the North Carolina Board of Nursing has shifted summative evaluation of its contact hour online educational offerings from objective to outcome measures for the purpose of all North Carolina Board of Nursing Continuing Education Bulletin articles/offerings listed on the Board of Nursing website.
The objective should be considered in the same context as a program outcome.
- Participants must attend the entire offering and submit a completed evaluation in order to earn contact hours.
- Verification of participation will be noted by completion of evaluation.
The North Carolina Board of Nursing is approved as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the North Carolina Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentials Center's Commission on Accreditation.
The purpose of this course is to provide information and clarification regarding the legal scope of practice for nurses practicing in North Carolina. This self-paced online course provides a basic understanding of nursing regulation and the parameters of practice for all levels of nursing personnel. It contrasts the scopes of the Registered Nurse and Licensed Practical Nurse and provides examples of "exceeding" one's scope.
- 1.5 contact hours
