Resolving Professional Practice Issues
Nurses face situations in the workplace that can interfere with their ability to practice and/or place clients at risk. Both nurses and employers have an obligation to advocate for quality practice environments that support safe, competent, and ethical nursing practice. The Practice Guideline Resolving Professional Practice Issues provides a framework to assist nurses and employers in resolving these types of issues.

Recognition of Nursing Practice
Nurses take on a variety of roles and activities. When engaging in a non-clinical role, an emerging field of nursing practice, or in self-employment you must contact NANB to ensure that the proposed practice will be recognized as nursing. For more information on this see the Guideline for Recognition of Nursing Practice.
