Overview
This act governs the practice of nursing, setting the terms on which a person may be licensed to practice and to use a nursing title. It establishes a regulatory board to administer licensure, sets the qualifications and standards of conduct required of licensees, and defines the scope of practice they are authorized to perform. It also provides the enforcement machinery — grounds for denying, suspending, or revoking a license, and consequences for practicing without one.
