Summary

Under the Nursing Practice Act, the Board of Registered Nursing licenses and regulates registered nurses. Existing law requires an applicant for licensure as a registered nurse to comply with certain requirements, including successful completion of the courses of instruction prescribed by the board in a program in this state accredited by the board for training registered nurses, or successful completion of courses of instruction in a school of nursing outside of this state, if, in the opinion of the board, the courses of instruction are equivalent to the minimum requirements of the board for licensure in this state. Existing law authorizes the board to issue a license without examination by endorsement to any applicant who is licensed or registered as a nurse in any other state, district, or territory of the United States or Canada, if specified requirements are met, including the requirement that the applicant have successfully completed an equivalent course of instruction as an applicant in this state. This bill would require the Board of Registered Nursing to adopt specific criteria for determining the equivalency of course instruction when assessing the qualifications of an out-of-state applicant who is filing for licensure by endorsement. In adopting that criteria, the bill would require the board to place an emphasis on licensed clinical experience. Existing law requires the Board of Registered Nursing to approve or disapprove schools of nursing, as prescribed. Existing law requires the board to determine the required subjects of instruction to be completed in an approved school of nursing. Existing law requires the board to prescribe, by regulation, the education for which credit is to be given to an applicant for licensure and the amount of credit to be given to each type of education. This bill would require the Board of Registered Nursing to include in those regulations clinical or theoretical knowledge acquired through any prior professional experience, such as through the military or while licensed in any other health care field. The bill would make other conforming changes to related provisions.
