Abstract

competencies prescribing prescriptive authority advanced practice registered nurses advanced practice registered nurses education
Both educators and regulators have an interest in determining if advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are prepared to obtain prescriptive authority. A study was conducted to confirm competencies that could be adopted to prepare APRNs for prescribing. Prescribing competencies can serve as the foundation for evidence-based legislation, and regulation by state boards, which could allow APRNs to reach their full potential.
