IF NURSING IS A PROFESSION HOW MUCH OF IT SHOULD BE REGULATED??? i dont know what that means and i dont know where to start. i found this - The fundamental purpose of nursing regulation is to serve and protect the public. CNA believes that the public
interest is best served when regulatory bodies adopt a framework that strengthens clinical nursing practice and leadership;
provides supports to correct and improve practice; and focuses not only on individual nurses,2 but also on
promoting quality practice environments. This framework includes promoting good practice, preventing poor practice
and intervening with unacceptable practice.3 A comprehensive and proactive regulatory framework supports
nurses in maintaining their competence and professional commitment throughout their nursing careers.
A comprehensive, proactive regulatory framework is key to maintaining the public鈥檚 high level of trust in the nursing
profession. In order to maintain the public trust, it is critical that all elements of this regulatory framework be
implemented in a fair, transparent4 and equitable5 manner.
Coordinated frameworks for regulatory approaches promote consistent standards across the country and eliminate
unnecessary barriers to the mobility of nurses across provincial/territorial borders.
The strength and quality of nursing regulation depends on nurses regulating nursing. Only the nursing profession
itself has the unique knowledge necessary to set and enforce standards of practice. Nursing self-regulation in Canada
has its roots in ethical values. Nurses are bound by the ethical values of the profession to base their practice on relevant
and current knowledge, and to show respect for the well-being, dignity and autonomy of persons receiving
care. These values promote safe, ethical and competent nursing care.
Although nurses regulate nursing, many stakeholders are involved in nursing regulation in a meaningful way. These
stakeholders include the public, governments, other professions, employers and educational institutions.
Consultation and collaboration with these and other groups on regulatory matters is essential to ensure that the
interests of the public and members alike are met in an efficient, coordinated manner.
Nursing regulation must evolve to meet the changing health care needs of the public. Flexibility in standards and
processes of regulation is essential. Scopes of practice evolve and often overlap with other health professions to
respond to changing health care needs of the public. Likewise, regulation approaches evolve to meet the challenges
and opportunities of technological advancements such as telehealth.6 As champions of primary health care and the
principles of the Canada Health Act, nurses must be leaders in monitoring regulatory standards and processes and
collaborating with other stakeholders to influence positive change.
. First of all, i don't think this is a debate as there aren't two sides to it. You are basically stating how much YOU think it should be regulated.
Start by defining the topic.
Define the main words, and understand what you're "debating" about.
For example:
Here are my definitions of Regulated:
To control something: to control something and bring it to the desired level, e.g. by adjusting the output of a machine or by imposing restrictions on the flow of something.
2. adjust machinery or select output: to adjust a piece of machinery or a control device on it so that the machinery works correctly.
3. make something regular: to cause something to occur at predictable intervals or in a regular way
4. control something by rules or laws: to organize and control an activity or process by making it subject to rules or laws (formal)
Governments of socialist countries regulate their nations' economies.
To find points, i usually go on google, or even yahoo answers. Aloha from Down Unda!
First, review some 'logical' refreshment of the 'debate' rules through Google.
Determine affirmative/negative position on the supposition.
Reserch the topic of regulated nursing.
Reference key points of the position adopted.
Practice presentations.
