An advertisement for a "licensed nurse" states that the nurse must work independently without supervision, have expertise in developing nursing care plans, and complete comprehensive nursing assessments. Which license is required for this role?

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license
Physician Assistant license
Registered Nurse license
Vocational Nurse license

The correct answer is: Advanced Practice Registered Nurse license

"Licensed nurses are required to have a certain level of competence and autonomy in their role, as evidenced by the advertised requirements for working independently and developing nursing care plans. This level of responsibility and expertise falls under the purview of an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) license. This differs from other types of nursing licenses such as a Physician Assistant license, which involves working under the supervision of a physician, and a Vocational Nurse license, which typically involves more basic nursing duties. While a Registered Nurse license allows for some level of independence and care planning, it may not meet the specific criteria outlined in the advertisement."
