Both committees are highly selective and only two nurses are appointed to the one on advanced practice, according to WSU.

The prescriptive governance committee develops recommendations on the authority of registered nurses to prescribe medicine or therapy to a patient.

The Advisory Committee on Advanced Practice Registered Nursing advises the Ohio Board of Nursing on issues regarding the practice and regulation of advanced practice registered nurses, according to Wright State.
