Area of Science:
- Nursing Practice and Healthcare Policy
Background:
- The scope of nursing practice in Canada is inconsistent across jurisdictions.
- Nursing practice is frequently defined by tasks rather than critical thinking or evidence-based care.
- Both nurse leaders and nurses themselves often limit the definition of practice to tasks and time.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the limitations of defining nursing scope of practice based on tasks.
- To highlight the undervaluing of nurses' critical thinking and evidence-based knowledge.
- To address the misconception that a university education is unnecessary for nursing.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of current definitions and perceptions of nursing scope of practice.
- Review of literature on nursing professional standards and education requirements.

Main Results:
- Task-based definitions obscure the full breadth of nurses' knowledge and capabilities.
- Overemphasis on tasks devalues the critical thinking and evidence-based foundation of nursing.
- A narrow, task-focused view can lead to the erroneous belief that advanced education is not required for nursing.
Conclusions:
- Defining nursing scope of practice by tasks is detrimental to the profession's recognition and advancement.
- A broader understanding of nursing encompasses critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and complex decision-making.
- Promoting a comprehensive view of nursing scope is essential for professional respect and appropriate educational standards.
