Public Comment for ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice

Please review and provide comments and recommendations during the just opened public comment period for the Draft Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Fourth Edition.

The working group has revised the definition of nursing, extensively reorganized the scope of practice statement and included a new representation of the nursing process and two new models, added new Standard 8 Advocacy and its accompanying competencies, and reordered the Standards of Professional Performance.

Your input on all the changes intended to enhance readability and usability will provide critical guidance for the final revision of this foundational nursing publication.

Please provide comments and recommendations by the closing date of September 16, 2020.
