The world of professional nursing practice is always evolving to meet the dynamic nature of healthcare. Nurses are accountable and responsible for making decisions that are consistent with safe, competent, and ethical practices. Nurses also face a variety of complex issues that impact the delivery of nursing care. A professional nursing practice issue is any issue, problem, or concern that can impact a nurses ability to provide care that is consistent with professional standards and guidelines. Examples of topics are staffing ratios, violence against nurses, and the merits of a BSN degree.
