Nursing Practice in Our Current Moment: Threats, Challenges, and Opportunities

This course provides foundational context on how regulatory bodies function, why they matter to nursing practice, and how changes within these institutions shape the conditions under which nurses provide patient care. Through case studies and scientific analysis, participants will investigate how efforts to limit, restructure, or override regulatory authority can jeopardize patient safety. Participants will consider how deregulatory agendas can threaten evidence dissemination, public trust, workplace safety, and patient outcomes.
