Abstract

The rules and regulations that govern nursing practice are topics rarely covered in nursing education programs. This article aims to provide a basic understanding of state and federal rules that govern nursing practice; the role and duties of nurse regulatory boards; types of legal actions that nurses may face; and an overview of discipline, complaint, and reporting processes.
