Concerning the regulation of nursing.

HB 2339 amends Washington State's nursing regulations to clarify and standardize definitions for nursing roles and titles. It updates terms like "advanced registered nurse practitioner" to "advanced practice registered nurse" and specifies exact titles and abbreviations (e.g., "C.N.P." for certified nurse practitioners) that licensed professionals may use. The bill directly affects registered nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, anesthetists, and clinical specialists by defining their authorized titles and preventing unauthorized use of nursing designations. It does not create new requirements but ensures consistent terminology across state law for licensing and practice. The bill is currently in committee review with no votes recorded.
