| | 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. |
