Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing Scope of Practice in Europe is every nurse’s guidebook to understanding this subject. Nurses will learn what they need to do to keep their patients safe and stay within the legal limits of a nursing license as well as their employer’s policies. Just as important, nurses will learn how to take on new roles and expand their scope of practice safely and responsibly. Europe is a vast region with a diversity of laws, economies, healthcare practices, and languages. Nurses need to understand what is consistent across the region, and what is different in their country. In any European country, nursing leaders, government regulators, and scholars will better understand how the nursing scope of practice defines the profession and how it can be used to promote nursing professionalism. The region’s top nurse experts came together to explain their respective countries and the major trends that affect everyone. They show the reader what is the consensus on nursing regulations, where there is conflict and differences, and where are the opportunities for change and growth. Douglas Long brings a wealth of nursing experience in emergency departments and acute care. He is the author of Nursing Scope of Practice (2021), Nursing: Moving Forward (2020), and Ámbito de la práctica profesional de enfermería en América Latina (2023).
