Scope of practice barriers can affect nurses in several ways:
1. Limited Job Satisfaction: When nurses are unable to use their full range of skills, it can lead to frustration and decreased job satisfaction. 2. Professional Development: These barriers can hinder professional growth and limit opportunities for advanced practice roles such as Nurse Practitioners (NPs) or Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS). 3. Financial Constraints: Nurses may face financial limitations due to restricted practice, as they may not be compensated for services they are fully qualified to provide.
