    In other words, a multistate license should not be issued to an individual who has active discipline or an encumbrance in any other state. What the audit report shows you is your multistate licensees that actually are under discipline in another state. Now, in the future, when compliance audits are done of compact states, this is something that an auditor would see as a red flag. In other words, there would be a question as to why did a state issue a multistate license to a nurse who's under discipline in some state? The comment field allows you to explain why the nurse was issued a multistate license even though they're under discipline.

    This means that THC, stored in fatty tissues, can be released back into the blood long after ingestion. The slow release of THC does not correlate to prolonged or resurgent impairment as “the acute psychoactive effects of marijuana ingestion last for mere hours, not days or weeks” (NHTSA, 2017). There are a limited number of studies on THC blood levels and the degree of impairment, but research consistently indicates that “the level of THC in the blood and the degree of impairment do not appear to be closely related. Peak impairment does not occur when THC concentration in the blood is at or near peak levels.

    There were variations in prescribing practices by provider and type of pain, and there was a lack of trust related to the subjectivity of pain that clinicians had to manage. And then there were also interventions that were not amenable to education but really had to be addressed at the system level, so things like insufficient members of interprofessional teams couldn't access tools or the tools weren't user-friendly.

    So, I would like to highlight for you the hard work that the NEC has done over the past year. You can see, but I'll have you pay attention to bullet points five and six, because I think this is what we're all here for today for delicate assembly. It is a proposed '26 RN and PN NCLEX test plans. So, if I haven't learned anything since I started as a regulator in 2010, when I started NEC back in 2014… Two things that you learn, one, it's psychometrically sound, and two, it's legally defensible.

    The Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centers for Nursing and Midwifery Development (www.whocc.gcal.ac.uk) is another organization that can help nurse educa- tors connect with international colleagues. The connecting points for this Network is through the WHO designated Collaborating Centers throughout the world. Currently, there are 37 such Centers in the world, and 12 are located in the United States. One could also go abroad as a consult- ant and/or visiting professor, though both options require an invitation from a host university. These options are possible when one has established the network with international colleagues through the aforementioned organizations, and when one’s expertise is recognized.

    Yet sometimes, the constraints of a clinical trial are too constraining and they don't depict the reality of everyday living. In my own work, what I've noticed is that the way people organize health information in their house actually varies and affects their ability to remember to take their medications. So, when I work with people who are developing homecare clinical trials, I try to encourage them to take a map of the house, take a look at what else is going on there. Now, in your future, what I hope we'll see is not evidence- based versus data science, but an appreciation of what data science approaches can provide to the evidence-based for nursing practice. - Thank you very much.

    And the last question is I've always loved the fact that NCSBN is very good at building evidence and working from an evidence-based perspective. And I'm curious what evidence there may be for mandating a number of transition to practice hours? - Well, I think the evidence is the 17 states have them and that we have not been able to pass this without that. That, you know, I don't know what stronger evidence we need that we need something in here is the fact that when we've tried to pass it without these transition hours, it goes nowhere.
