Answer  preview

All practitioners who have graduated in nursing programs have broad knowledge and practice expertise that expands as they progress in the entry-level nursing practice. However, healthcare practices have faced many challenges, especially advanced practice nursing. In many states in the United States, nurse practitioners are not allowed to fully practice their knowledge and training (Siegmund, Hamilton, & Nespeca, 2020). This has led to many barriers slowing the progress of advanced practice nursing. Certain policies have to be changed to ensure nurses progress in their practice considering the nurse shortage which has been experienced in America for the last many years.
