NP Perceptions of Their Work
Perception of Scope of Practice: NPs in the workforce were generally satisfied that the duties
of their principal position reflected the full scope of their NP capabilities and allowable scope of
practice. Of those whose main position involves direct patient care, almost 84 percent agreed that they “practice to the fullest extent of the state’s legal scope of practice,” and 89 percent
agreed that their “NP skills are fully utilized.”
