Hello Grace Fih-Lufung,Thank you for detailed discussion on APRN and Board of Nursing (BON). I agree with you that BON is a body that regulates the nursing practice at the state level. It is important to note that different states have their own independent BON. Therefore, the regulations by BON in one state may be different for another state. Also all BON in the United States are members of the National Council of State Nursing (NCSN). I appreciate your discussion and experience in the state of Texas. In my state of Nebraska, the BON has unique requirements to different nursing (Nursing Licensure, 2020). For instance, the clinical nursing specialists are required to have a master’s degree in nursing specialist or a master’s degree in nursing but with a post-masters certificate in nursing specialist.Regards!ReferenceNursing Licensure.
