This assignment analyzes different registration standards for nurses, midwives, and enrolled nurses in Australia as outlined by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. It explores how these standards support safe nursing practice and discusses a national decision-making framework used by nurses to ensure accountability and responsibility in patient care. The importance of continuing professional development (CPD) for nurses is also highlighted, using nasogastric intubation as an example of a skill that can contribute to CPD requirements.
