Summary

Existing law, the Nursing Practice Act, until January 1, 2016, provides for the licensure and regulation of registered nurses by the Board of Registered Nursing. Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in the practice of nursing, as defined, without holding a license which is in an active status issued under the act, except as specified. Existing law authorizes every licensee to be known as a registered nurse and to place the letters "R.N." after his or her name. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
