    We conducted a survey in 2022 of our staff alone, just to kind of get an idea of how they felt about where they were at with their jobs, what they needed to be successful, what was missing. And for the most part, you know, very high marks were given to morale, people seem to be really happy. There was much improved work-life balance. And in some cases, there was even improved communications between staff and their supervisors. It's kind of amazing to think that, you know, when you're in the office and you're 10 feet away from some of your staff, you may not talk to them as much as you do now when you're working, you know, miles away.

    All of this connection is done through the NCSBN ID that allows the nurse to keep track of all of their licenses and records based on one ID. And that can help cut down the fraud. I'm also told that CMS is also looking to cut down on fraud from their perspective, because, right now, you can actually have an NPI number, a nurse can get an NPI number, and there is no guarantee that that individual is a nurse because there are no formal checks in place at this point. So what CMS is attempting to do is when a nurse applies for an NPI, they want to be able to check the Nursys system with the ID, with the NCSBN ID, to make sure that individual is licensed where the nurse is saying they're licensed, and it is not encumbered.

    Would we or do we generally publish the names of those participants? A question came in, essentially related to security, where it might be important to be sure that that person or perhaps a spouse isn't part of test prep or some other company that where there might be an advantage to have access to the exam information. - That's a good question, and I'll answer it in two fold. When each of the volunteers are applying to participate in the panels, as I mentioned earlier, when they access the database on our website, it is asking a series of questions, essentially looking to see if the person qualifies to participate in the panel.

    And then just ahead of the New Year, we had a report in hand detailing some very compelling results. But before we get into the results, I want to tell you what happened during that period, so the pre-survey results timeline. We didn't just twiddle our thumbs while the survey was out there in the field. We started a robust communications plan for what we were going to do when we got the results. And we also knew that we needed to educate lawmakers that there was a survey out there and exactly what data or what questions were going to be asked so that we would be able to present them with data.

    All rights reserved. 4 And 15 of the states at that time allowed nurses to be on buprenorphine and return to work, and 16 did not, and 3 said certainly in certain circumstances. And then the physician groups were split 50/50 on whether they did or not. The authors of this study were very concerned about that practice back in 2012. And there still are programs today that have concerns about that. I will tell you, when this was published in 2012, we didn't have... this was published in March of 2012. And that particular year is when West Virginia passed our alternative-to-discipline program.

    Yes, so [00:42:30] how do we rephrase it? Tell me what you were thinking when... That's different than why did you do this. Okay, so let's say. Why did you walk down the stairs and confront the person at the bottom? Instead of saying why, say tell me what you were thinking when you decided to walk down the stairs, and you saw that other person down there.

    It's not completion, is when the dean says they've graduated, and we sort of count it differently. But I can tell you, when it comes to the schools of nursing, when we provide this to them, their first thing is, "Can you make a rule to make the students take the exam in the first 60 days?"

    Rick says, "If someone has a single-state license and nurses in a compact state, do we send a speed memo to those states also if a compact state license is issued in a new state?" ©2022 National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 I would say, no, you're not required to. And the reason for that is that when a new state joins the compact, there are a ton of licenses, of single-state licenses out there, where they may have a single state in one state and a compact license in another state. And we have a current rule that deals with that, that says, "Those single states, we can allow them to expire on their own."

    The other area where I think there would be great pause because you would have to have the consents just right, would be Substance Use Disorder Treatment Records. And there have been even recent changes in the last few years to the protections that are afforded to these. And so, when you obtain those records for a specific purpose, there are limits on your ability to re-disclose those and there are significant penalties associated with that.
