Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and
Education2008 National Council of the State Boards of Nursing46 Nursing organizations endorsed the
Consensus ModelAddressed the fact that there is no uniform
model for regulation of APRN across the states
www.frontierschool.edu
![Page 14: Role of the aprn](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061113/5457b85eaf79597c108b64bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consensus Model
APRN are unable to move easily from state to state due to each state having different criteria for licensure, this decreases access to care

Indentifies titles to by use
Defines specialties
Describes the emergence of new roles and population foci
