Hi, I'm doing an assignment for my class, and I have to present it to the class afterwards, which discusses the scope of practice by the RN in general. Where can I find information about this? I know I can go the states board of nursing to find about information about the nursing practice act and the scope of practice. I'm mainly concerned with what the RN can do, and what the RN can delegate to the LPN/LVN, nursing aide etc, somewhere along that line.

I found some links below which describes the scope of nursing practice, but i was wondering if there are anymore sources online I can go to to find out more.
