This paper describes processes used to validate the Scope of Nursing Practice Decision-Making Framework developed and implemented by the nurse regulatory authority in Queensland, Australia. Various components of the Framework are also outlined. The validity and usefulness of the Framework were tested through survey research and validation in practice. The majority of participants in both validation processes found all components of the Framework completely or mostly understandable, useful and applicable in practice. Results confirmed that education and experience are used by nurses to explain the advancement in their practice and that the context of nursing practice influences roles and relationships with other health professionals.
