  • Interstate Commission of Nurse Licensure Compact Administrators Elects 2025 Executive Committee | NCSBN

    The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide an organization through which boards of nursing act and counsel together on matters of common interest and concern affecting the public health, safety and welfare, including the development of licensing examinations in nursing. Additionally, almost every nurse, including primary care nurses, case managers, transport nurses, school and hospice nurses, among many others, needs to routinely cross state boundaries to provide the public with access to nursing services, and a multistate license facilitates this process.   For more information, contact nursecompact@ncsbn.org or visit www.nlc.gov .

So, in the past, I have often cited American presidents. And being in the land of Lincoln, I thought I would visit some of the works that Lincoln had said. I've lent on work from Kennedy and Reagan.

    Forty-eight percent of the BONs that approve APRN programs have umbrella structures (or those that are not independent, but instead are under a larger division that has a number of other boards), while 56 percent that don’t approve APRN programs have umbrella structures. 5. BONs that approve APRN programs have a mean number of 9.5 APRN programs in their jurisdictions, while those that don’t have a mean number of 11.5 APRN programs. Therefore, BONs that don’t approve APRN programs tend to be umbrella boards and are larger, licensing more RNs and APRNs and having more APRN programs to approve.
