Join us for a program that will answer current questions about Laws and Rules that regulate the practice of nursing. Nurses are required to attend at least one hour of continuing education that focuses on the Nurse Practice Act, and this forum will serve to enhance core knowledge of Chapter 4723 of the ORC and the OAC. We will review summary information obtained from the Governor’s Annual Report from The Ohio Board of Nursing and recognize trends in the changing statistics. We will explore the ‘mission’ of the OBN to protect the public, address ‘Safe Practice’ and be apprised of the consequences of failure to uphold the standards of nursing. This workshop will provide valuable information for nurses in every specialty discipline and highlight some of the challenges in nursing practice today. Addressing the nurses’ code of ethics and reviewing standards of safe practice will serve to lead nurses to a more effective role in compliance and support of standards set forth in the Nurse Practice Act.
Objectives:
- Recognize Chapter 4723 of the ORC as the Law that guides nursing practice.
- Define the mission of the OBN.
- Review summary data from the OBN annual report to the Governor.
- Name 2 consequences of failure to uphold standards of the Nurse Practice Act.
- List 3 standards of safe practice.
- Obtain a take home copy of the Nurse Code of Ethics.
