New practice resources: Scope, Medication

A group of new and revised standards came into effect Oct. 26, 2020:

• LPN scope of practice—revised ​ scope standards
• RN scope of practice—revised scope standards, new prescribing standard
• RPN scope of practice—revised scope standards, new prescribing standard
• All nurses—new Medication practice standard: LPN​, NP, RN​, RPN
  

New resources

We've developed a series of new resources to support nurses to understand and apply these standards:

• Scope of Practic​e 
• Acting within Autonomous Scope of Practice 
• Acting with Client-Specific Orders 
• Diagnosing
• Medication 
• Dispensing 
• Prescribing 

We encourage nurses to review these new resources.
