CONCLUSION
The Florida laws related to nursing are in place to define the Board of Nursing, which then, along with the law itself, sets the standards of competent nursing practice and standards for promoting patient safety. By so doing, the mission of the Board of Nursing to promote and protect the health of citizens through safe nursing practice is achieved.
