Board of Nursing

Board of Nursing is the state government agency established by law to protect the public by regulating the practice of Nurses. The Board of Nursing is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of any state laws related to nursing license, nursing practices, nursing programs, and nursing schools. Nursing Board members are generally made up of both members of the public and those within the nursing profession such as Registered Nurses. Members of the Nursing Board may be appointed by the Governor or the state Legislature.

We also recommend that you review the nursing license requirements for neighboring states, should you decide to move or take a nursing job across state lines.
