In terms of regulations, an APRN has focused scope of practice which has limitation to practice, unlike the RNs with broad scope of practice (Hudspeth,2009). In the state of Texas, an APRN practices in areas beyond the scope of the RN, such as diagnosing and prescribing.

    In the scenario mentioned, it appears management and supervision are lacking in this outpatient primary care office. As the new Family Nurse Practitioner in the office, my first logical response to the chaos would be to request a meeting with the person who is supposed to be in charge or their superior. I would discuss the numerous issues witnessed since my employment within the last three months such as the hostility between staff members getting into heated arguments in patient areas, employees don't show up for work as scheduled, a decreased in office productivity level and providers concerns for their patient safety. For an office to run smoothly there needs to be someone in charged.…

Another key point to remember is to investigate if the school is accredited by the regional accreditation bodies or by the national accreditation bodies such as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) AND Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing…
