• A nurse moves from Seattle to Boston and begins working in a hospital. The most important
factor for the nurse to consider when moving to another state is the:
1 Massachusetts Nurse Practice Act
2 Standard for nursing practice in Boston
3 Clinical ladder of mobility in the new hospital
4 Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in
Massachusetts
ANS: 1
Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice
Act that regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse
Practice Act is necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care.
Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city, but rather to the profession itself.
Although the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to professional
advancement, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state.
Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher
importance.
Regardless of where a nurse practices, the nurse should strive to remain current.
