WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.337 position:50% align:middle NCSBN remains an organization in constant motion, always evolving, 00:00:06.337 --> 00:00:10.005 position:50% align:middle and working to stay a step ahead of a rapidly-changing healthcare and 00:00:10.005 --> 00:00:16.343 position:50% align:middle regulatory landscape. In 2014, the multiple-award-winning National 00:00:16.343 --> 00:00:20.854 position:50% align:middle Simulation Study was published. It was the largest and most comprehensive 00:00:20.854 --> 00:00:27.689 position:50% align:middle research study to date, examining the use of simulation in prelicensure nursing. 00:00:27.689 --> 00:00:32.332 position:50% align:middle It generated the National Simulation Guidelines for Nursing Programs to aid 00:00:32.332 --> 00:00:36.581 position:50% align:middle them in the establishment of evidence-based simulation programs for the 00:00:36.581 --> 00:00:41.292 position:50% align:middle undergraduate nursing curriculum. In partnership with 10 Canadian-registered 00:00:41.292 --> 00:00:46.394 position:50% align:middle nurse regulatory bodies, NCSBN developed and delivered the NCLEX 00:00:46.394 --> 00:00:51.691 position:50% align:middle exam that was implemented as a licensure requirement for most provinces in Canada 00:00:51.691 --> 00:00:59.095 position:50% align:middle in 2015. A changing of the guard occurred in October 2015 when David Benton 00:00:59.095 --> 00:01:04.845 position:50% align:middle succeeded Kathy Apple as NCSBN's CEO. Apple was thanked for her 00:01:04.845 --> 00:01:10.604 position:50% align:middle skilled management, which spanned a tenure of 14 years, as the organization looked 00:01:10.604 --> 00:01:15.650 position:50% align:middle to Benton's wide range of leadership experience and work in nursing research, 00:01:15.650 --> 00:01:20.383 position:50% align:middle developing evidence for regulation. Challenged to do audacious thinking 00:01:20.383 --> 00:01:25.580 position:50% align:middle about the challenges and opportunities of the future, Regulation 2030 brought 00:01:25.580 --> 00:01:30.118 position:50% align:middle together 80 regulators from around the world who set out to chart the future 00:01:30.118 --> 00:01:35.372 position:50% align:middle of nursing regulation by using concept mapping. A new era of nurse licensure 00:01:35.372 --> 00:01:39.660 position:50% align:middle in the U.S. was ushered in with the enactment of the Enhanced Nurse Licensure 00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:46.252 position:50% align:middle Compact, or eNLC, in July 2017. Allowing nurses to have mobility 00:01:46.252 --> 00:01:52.241 position:50% align:middle across state borders, the eNLC increases access to care while maintaining public 00:01:52.241 --> 00:01:59.367 position:50% align:middle protection. The eNLC was implemented in 29 states in January 2018. Work 00:01:59.367 --> 00:02:02.762 position:50% align:middle continues toward the ultimate goal of having all 50 states 00:02:02.762 --> 00:02:09.099 position:50% align:middle in the compact. In an effort to expand its membership, NCSBN added an exam user 00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:14.964 position:50% align:middle member category, approved by a delegate assembly resolution in 2017. 00:02:14.964 --> 00:02:21.543 position:50% align:middle NCSBN began accepting new members in this category in 2018, revolutionizing the 00:02:21.543 --> 00:02:26.914 position:50% align:middle regulation of nurses, protecting the public, and cultivating a community 00:02:26.914 --> 00:02:33.333 position:50% align:middle of skilled and innovative regulatory leaders. NCSBN marks its 40th 00:02:33.333 --> 00:02:37.614 position:50% align:middle anniversary in 2018. It is a time to reflect, 00:02:37.614 --> 00:02:43.857 position:50% align:middle a time to celebrate, but also, a time to look to the future, building on successes, 00:02:43.857 --> 00:02:48.726 position:50% align:middle learning from missteps, and recommitting to advancing public safety and regulatory 00:02:48.726 --> 00:02:54.600 position:50% align:middle excellence as the organization moves into its fifth decade. It all started 00:02:54.600 --> 00:03:01.620 position:50% align:middle with an idea. The passion, creativity, dedication, and hard work of NCSBN and its 00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:04.673 position:50% align:middle members made that idea a reality. 00:03:04.673 --> 00:03:07.613 position:50% align:middle ♪ [music] ♪
