BOARD of NURSING
Boards of Nursing are state governmental agencies that are responsible for the
regulation of nursing practice in each respective state. Boards of Nursing are
authorized to enforce the Nurse Practice Act, develop administrative
rules/regulations and other responsibilities per the Nurse Practice Act.
Membership to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN)
Web site is available only to a state board of nursing empowered to license and
regulate nursing practice in any state, territory or political subdivision of
the United States of America.
Any state board of nursing that agrees to use one or more NCSBN Licensing
Examinations under the terms and conditions specified by NCSBN and pays the
required fees may be a member of NCSBN ("Member Board").
A state board of nursing shall become a member of NCSBN and be known as a
Member Board upon approval by the Delegate Assembly, as described in Article
VII, payment of the required fees and execution of a contract for using the
NCLEX® examination. (Source: www.ncsbn.org)
