Let's explore the NCSBN Consensus Model.
Use the Implementation Status link on the NCSBN Consensus Model website. a) The goal of the NCSBN Consensus Model is to define the role of the APRN. With every state having different rules and regulations, the goal is to create unity in the regulation of ARPN roles throughout the nation (APRN Consensus Model, n.d.). Some states give more authority to APRN’s than others. The goal is to have equal appropriate regulations across the board. b) Nurse practice acts are important because they allow the state to decide what rules are regulations APRN’s must follow (Russell, 2012). The state of Kentucky along with the consensus model both state that the APRN must be licensed and hold a national certification. Both Kentucky and the consensus model recognize the same certified specialties for APRN’s such as certified nurse midwife and clinical nurse specialist. They both also have the same advanced practice population focuses (National Council of State Boards of Nursing APRN Advising Committee, 2008). The state of Kentucky has a scope of practice decision-making model for APRN’s to ensure that they know what is and is not in their scope of practice (Kentucky Board of Nursing, 2015). The NCSBN consensus model is more in-depth and includes more information for APRN’s than Kentucky. Nurse
