All nurses, including Nurse Practitioners (NPs), have the professional obligation to ensure safe, effective and ethical practice. As Registered Nurses with supplementary education and experience, NPs have the legal authority to perform additional controlled acts and other authorized activities. The Nurse Practitioners practice standard describes the competencies specific to and the expectations of NPs.
| The Nurse Practitioners learning module is being revised to reflect the new Nurse Practitioner practice standard. The new module will be available in 2012. |
