    Through NCSBN, BONs work together on policy matters that will affect patient safety, the future of nursing and health care. As stated in our mission, NCSBN promotes evidence-based policies that protect the public from harm, while striving to reduce the burden of government. There is no evidence that removing a nurse’s professional license due to student loan default hinders his or her ability to provide safe, competent care to patients. Therefore, states should not require a license to be revoked when a licensee defaults on a student loan. Unfortunately, many state boards of nursing are required by statute, not regulation, to recognize student loan default as grounds for discipline or license revocation.
