Nephrology Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice: Take Pride in Practice.

The Nephrology Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice, 9th Edition, published by the American Nephrology Nurses Association, defines the scope of nephrology nursing and provides standards of practice, standards of professional performance, and competencies for registered nurses and graduate-level prepared registered nurses (e.g., advanced practice registered nurses, clinical nurse specialists) in an approach consistent with the American Nurses Association's Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice, published in 2021. Discussions addressing respect, equity, inclusion, and social justice have been included in the 9th edition. A new section related to altered/crisis standards has been added to assist nephrology nurses in developing strategies for implementing those standards. The section on how to use the standards has been updated with forms that organizations can download and individualize. This article provides an overview of the scope, standards, competencies, and strategies for implementing them in clinical practice.
