The
regulation of nursing practice is delineated within each state’s nurse practice
act. Nurses are responsible for knowing and understanding how their practice is
regulated by the state in which they are licensed. A nurse who practices beyond
their state’s legal definition of nursing is subject to disciplinary action by
the regulatory agency.
