Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice

College of Nursing faculty and students uphold the profession's standards of clinical practice. These are based on the American Nurses' Association Social Policy Statement (1995). The Standards of Advanced Practice Nursing (1997) provide the baseline for graduate-level clinical practice. The relevant specialty standards provide baseline expectations for practice in each specialty area.

Advanced Nursing Practice
Advanced practice nursing (APN) is the use of theory, research and clinical knowledge in decision making, practice innovation, complex care delivery and leadership in health care and the profession.
