CONCLUSION
The Texas Nursing Practice Act defines the rules for the state Board of Nursing, which then, along with the law itself, sets the standards of competent nursing practice and standards for promoting patient safety by all nurses who practice in the state. Competent nursing practice includes providing care according to ethical as well as legal standards. By ensuring that all nurses adhere to these standards, the mission of the Board of Nursing to safeguard and advance the health of Texan citizens through safe nursing practice is achieved.
