Each state's Nurse Practice Act is regulated by state laws.It would be important for the politically active nurse to contact state lawmakers and advise them of the pending legislation and the ramifications that would occur if institutional licensure replaced individual licensure-for instance,lack of regulation of safe nursing practice.The Nurse Practice Act is not regulated by city,county (parish),or federal legislative bodies.
