This article used the Nursing’s Social policy Statement as a framework for describing the scope of practice. The elements of the scope of practice are divided into four components – core, dimensions, boundaries and intersections. Core includes the roles, behaviors and processes inherent to the practice. Dimensions are the roles, responsibilities, functions and skills. Boundaries are divided into internal and external. Internal boundaries are within the profession and external includes rules, regulations, societal demands, economy, trends and resources. The forth component is the intersections which include the collaborative interface with collegial and professional groups.
