Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of working with Randall Hudspeth on the APRN committee of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. Our role on this committee is to create and implement a new regulatory model for APNs, and more specifically for NPs, across the country. Randy brings a long history of commitment to advanced practice and a wealth of regulatory expertise to the committee. As we begin implementation of this new regulation for NPs, each of us should look at our own state’s history and see how far we have come through the efforts of nurse practitioners. To this end, Randy Hudspeth, a native Idahoan, and coauthor Verlene Kaiser, also a nurse practitioner, have written a rich book titled Charting Idaho Nursing History. Randy told me that they chose “charting” for the title because that is how nurses document what they do: by charting.
