BENCHMARK – FUTURE SCOPE, ROLE, AND PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATIONS PAPER “The Future Role and Scope of Aesthetic Nursing & Professional Obligations” Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system. For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for your specialty (AESTHETIC NURSING) and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. TOTAL REFERENCES MUST BE 10 BETWEEN YEARS 2016 TO 2021 Write a 1,500-word paper that includes the following: 1. A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope. (500 WORDS FOR THIS SECTION OF PAPER) The Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Role and Accreditation Agencies The nursing role have transformed overtime as the demand for sustainable health care system grew increasing the need for advanced nursing roles that would significantly and positively impact the healthcare system. The nursing profession have grown and progressed towards creating increased and advanced roles via continued advanced education. The nursing profession have also evolved into multiple professional pathways allowing nurses to have the options of becoming more advanced in their preferred or chosen specialty areas. As result of the progression and growth the scope and expectations of the profession have also broaden and increased the role and responsibilities to an advanced level that requires advanced educational programs allowing the advanced registered nurses to participate or influence the American health care system. According to an article by Salmond and Echevarria, “Nurses are positioned to contribute to and lead the transformative changes that are occurring in healthcare by being a fully contributing member of the interprofessional team as we shift from episodic, provider-based, feefor-service care to team-based, patient-centered care across the continuum that provides seamless, affordable, and quality care. These shifts require a new or an enhanced set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes around wellness and population care with a renewed focus on patient-centered care, care coordination, data analytics, and quality improvement.” My nursing specialty area is Aesthetics and my goal is to become advanced in the specialty area of aesthetics as an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner. There are three regulatory bodies which I found defines the scope, specifies the practicing regulations and certification for becoming an advanced aesthetic nurse, they are: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASPS), Plastic Surgical Nursing Certification Board (PSNCB), and International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses (ISPAN). The required qualifications include: training and certifications in aesthetics procedures such botulin toxins, dermal fillers injectables and laser operations, years of practice with minimum of 1000 hours of practice, registered nurse licensure, as well as additional educational qualifications (Hagopian, 2019). These are to ensure competency and skills to ensure and maintain patient safety. These regulatory bodies support aesthetic practice but within the stipulated scope of practice (Hagopian, 2019). Before one can become a certified Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, one must meet the requirements made by the PSNCB including taking their state certification examination in order to be certified. Prior to taking the certification exam the nurse must also have the endorsement of a physician along with 1000 hours of practice performing aesthetic procedures working alongside or under a boardcertified plastic surgeon preferably, or with a physician who is in the specialty of cosmetic or aesthetics (Hagopian, 2019). All three regulatory bodies also work with the state and federal government for the supervision, training, and licensure processes (Collier, 2019). Considering the requirements, it have most definitely influenced and promoted the need for advance nursing education, which explains my current nursing path towards my professional goal of becoming an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner.

(500 words) NEED X2 MORE SCHOLARLY / PEER REVIEWED REFERENCES FROM 2016 TO 2021 Healthcare Legislation in Texas and its Impact on Aesthetic Nursing In Texas, the nurse practitioners scope of practice are limited as a result there is a new House Bill Proposing the allowance of nurse practiotoners to operate independently, this proposed House Bill 1792 will require the nurse practitioners to have at least 2080hrs of practice under the delegation of a physician to practice independently (Wofford, 2019). The goal of this legislation is to promote positive outcomes and equality in access to all patients. Thus, will impact directly to me as an aesthetic nurse practitioner, being able to operate a full blown medical spa facility without the supervision of a physician. However, this law will also influence all specialty areas of nurse practitioners in terms of how they care for their patients across the healthcare spectrum.
