Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how ADN and BSN nurses view top-of-license (TOL) nursing practices differently.
- There was a lack of previous research on this topic, prompting a qualitative pilot study using focus groups.
- Findings revealed distinct perceptions related to critical thinking, communication, and patient education, as well as specific nursing responsibilities, suggesting that these differences could impact nursing staff optimization and highlighting the need for further research.
Objective: The aims of this study were to describe nurses' perceptions of nursing activities and analyze for consistency with top-of-license (TOL) practice.
Background: The Advisory Board Company expert panel proposed 8 TOL core nursing responsibilities representing practice at its potential. Thus far, no empirical work has examined nursing practices relative to TOL, from staff nurses' points of view.
