MY STATE GIVEN IS TEXAS, MY HOME STATE IS LOUISIANA
Compare Texas and Louisiana
Please review your assigned states for Module 7. The state assigned should be
compared to Louisiana. This assignment comprises three parts, so I urge you to read
the instructions carefully. It would be beneficial for you to research the state boards for
both states, as this will assist you in obtaining the bulk of the necessary information.
The three parts of the assignment include an APA paper, an APA PowerPoint, and a
reflection on the course. For this assignment I will allow the years to be within 8 years if
it is from the state board of nursing only.
