    Scopes of practice are “legislatively-defined spheres of activity within which various types of healthcare providers are authorized to practice.” (Yang, 2014). As a nurse, it is important for one to be aware of not only state requirements, but also the requirements of an employer to be practicing within our domain. It is in knowing and understanding our individual scope of practice that we can safely exercise our responsibility to accept only those roles or assignments for which we possess the knowledge, skills and competencies to perform (Koch, 2013). In my own practice, going from a medical-surgical setting to the emergency department, my scope of practice greatly changed. I relied on not only the Board of Nursing, but also my employer’s policy and procedure guideline when faced with a situation, where I could possibly practice “outside of my scope.” As Koch said, “ Be ‘nurse-smart’ and practice safely; know your scope of practice.” (2013).
