NR510 Week 7: Recorded LACE Presentation
NR510 Week 7 Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:
Develop professional presentation/communication skills.
Demonstrate an advancing understanding of the political landscape of APN practice.
Demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature and be able to disseminate the information orally.
Demonstrate and practice professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of
peers.
Course Outcomes
1. Analyze the development of advanced practice nursing roles from a historical perspective including the
impact of advanced practice nursing on the healthcare delivery system from the perspective of selected
current reports (i.e. LACE, IOM, etc.)
2. Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic and political factors.
Requirements
For Week 7, there is no case study given to you by the faculty. Instead, you will be creating a recorded
presentation that demonstrates your understanding of LACE principles and their influence on APN practice. This
presentation will be uploaded into the course via Kaltura.
Address the following Topics/Questions:
How do licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE) considerations differ for all four APN
clinical roles (CNP, CNM, CRNA, CNS) for these three states: California, Washington, and Illinois? Provide
evidence for your response.
Discuss what evidence-based strategies should be implemented to achieve continuity between state
regulatory boards? Provide evidence for your response.
Is independent NP practice allowed in your state? Discuss your opinion regarding independent NP practice in your state. Should NPs be allowed to practice independently? Provide evidence for your response.NR510 Week 7
NR510 Week 7 Answer
This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the LACE requirements applicable to California, Washington, and Illinois states. Additionally, it intends to propose evidence-based strategies for achieving consistency across state regulatory boards, examine the scope of practice in the state under consideration (Illinois), and provide a personal perspective on nurse independence.NR510 Week 7
LACE, an acronym for licensing, accreditation, certification, and education, plays a crucial role in defining the parameters of advanced practice nursing (APN) (Carney, 2016). It establishes the framework for APN practice by delineating titles, specifying and endorsing specialty tracks, and outlining the procedures for introducing new roles with a focus on population health.NR510 Week 7
Licensure, governed by state agencies and defined by legislative requirements, sets the standards for obtaining a license. Accreditation involves the evaluation of educational institutions to ensure their credibility and compliance with accrediting bodies’ stipulated criteria (Carney, 2016). Certification serves to signify the possession of knowledge and skills necessary for specialized practice. Education encompasses programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and post-master’s/doctoral levels from accredited institutions and programs.
