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.
