| | Board of Nursing |
| | Nurses came under the jurisdiction of the Department upon its creation in 1917. The regulatory Act |
| | includes both "practical", "registered" and "advanced practice" nurses within its scope and includes |
| | nursing in all of its specialties. The Board of Nursing has thirteen members appointed by the |
| | Secretary, consisting of four advanced practice nurses, three nursing educator representatives, two |
| | registered nurses, one licensed practical nurse, one nursing administrator, one nurse and one public |
| | member. The Board's duties include making recommendations on the adoption of revisions to the rules |
| | and regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of the Act, conducting hearings and disciplinary |
| | conferences upon charges calling for discipline of a licensee, and recommending approval or denial of |
| | nursing education programs. |
