In 2011, the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) and the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) appointed a joint task force to begin the review and revision of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, published in 2007 by the American Nurses Association (ANA, 2007). The taskforce members were comprised of psychiatric-mental health nursing clinical administrators, staff nurses, nursing faculty, and psychiatric advanced practice registered nurses working in psychiatric facilities and the community.
