AACN Task Force on Hallmarks of the Professional Practice Setting presents Hallmarks of the Professional Nursing Practice Environment. "The charge of this AACN task force was to identify those environmental characteristics or "hallmarks" of the practice setting that best support professional nursing practice and allow baccalaureate- and higher degree-prepared nurses to practice to their full potential. These "hallmarks" may inform students and new graduates, nurse educators, executives, and practicing nurses about key characteristics of health care settings that promote professional nursing practice."
