Some common regulatory requirements in nursing include:
1. Licensing and Certification: Nurses must be licensed to practice by passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Specialty certifications may also be required for advanced practice roles.
2. Continuing Education: Nurses are often required to complete a certain number of continuing education units (CEUs) to maintain their licenses. This ensures that they stay updated with current practices and knowledge.
3. Compliance with Practice Standards: Nurses must adhere to practice standards set by regulatory bodies and healthcare organizations. These include patient confidentiality (HIPAA), infection control, and safe medication administration.
