Abstract
Institutions are challenged to provide education in order to adhere to evolving practice requirements. In May 2013, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that supervision of fluoroscopy by a licensed provider was within the scope of practice for advanced registered nurse practitioners. The Iowa Board of Nursing issued a ruling requiring advanced registered nurse practitioners supervising fluoroscopy to obtain education in radiation safety in 4 specific content areas. This article describes the development of an educational course in radiation safety for the supervision of fluoroscopy preventing a potential barrier to nurse practitioner practice.
•Iowa Supreme Court rules in favor of Iowa Board of Nursing authority.•Iowa Board of Nursing requires additional education for supervision of fluoroscopy.•The lack of existing appropriate fluoroscopy education poses a potential practice barrier.•An interprofessional team collaborates to develop educational course.•Course development aligns privileges with license requirements.
