When I grow up, I would like to work as a nurse, specifically, as a NICU nurse, and work with tiny babies. A lot of federal and state laws apply to this job, and I must say it is highly regulated. As a state law, the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) is in charge of verifying and guaranteeing that people holding a license have the knowledge and requirements to practice safely and not cause harm. The Nursing Practice Act (NPA) is another state legislature that regulates the practice of nursing. It specifies the things a nurse can or cannot do and their scope of practice. It is interesting! Also, I think it gives a little bit of peace of mind in the community to know that laws and rules exist to protect the welfare of the people.

Here's a question for all you libertarians out there. Why do event need to regulate nursing?
- What are U.S. Nursing Regulatory Bodies?
More than 100 years ago, state and territorial governments established NRBs to protect the public's health and welfare by overseeing and ensuring the safe practice of nursing. NRBs achieve this mission by outlining the standards for safe nursing care and issuing licenses to practice nursing. Once a license is issued, the NRB's job continues by monitoring licensees' compliance to jurisdictional laws and taking action against the licenses of those nurses who have exhibited unsafe nursing practice.
Are health regulatory agencies means of addressing market failure? Ensuring that consumers of health care know that practioners are qualified?
- Regulation of health care markets.
- What is the Role of Regulatory Bodies in Healthcare?
