    Recommendations • Students should be vaccinated when clinical facilities require it so that they can participate in the clinical experience and progress in their programs. • Nursing education programs should reach out to students who are vaccine-hesitant and counsel the students about the benefit of the vaccine and the need for it as a student enrolled in a nursing program, and address myths and misleading information about the vaccine. • Course descriptions should include that a clinical component is required. • Nursing education programs are mandated by boards of nursing as well as accreditors to provide students with clinical experiences. They are not obligated to provide substitute or alternate clinical experiences based on a student’s request or vaccine preference.

    The way that any of us as professional boards would have found out about this particular case is if there had been substantial patient harm such as a patient death. That's a sentinel event, and that's a mandatory reporting. And that could be a mechanism by which that information gets to the licensing boards. The other mechanism would be if there is a patient complaint. And although this is not a real case, I have had a lot of discipline cases come to me that are very similar, acute care setting, physician, pharmacy, and nursing involved.

    There are circumstances that they clarified that it is okay to treat speech by professionals differently than speech by laypeople. And these are really where they added some clarity. The first is not immediately important to our purposes, but I put it up here. It's the issues if it's factual, non-controversial information. These are things like... It could be anything from billing, It could be informed consent, things like that. The second is, important for our purposes, it's that states may regulate professional conduct that incidentally involves speech. Now, we know that that conduct incidentally involves speech, so this is professional conduct.

    Barrow Peacock (LA) ■ “As we get more states involved in the compact, I look at the compact as setting a national standard for EMS, because we’re all doing the same education, verification, all that kind of stuff. So, I think it will be an enhancement to the system.” -Joe Schmider, Texas EMS Director Protecting Immunity Interstate Compacts/ Portability Best Practices Uniformity/ Information Sharing Immunity Types and Limits Shield your clients’ actions Why Do We Need Immunity?

    As Table 1 shows, four item models were proposed to generate item variants. Ideally, the proposed models would generate variant items with similar item difficulty and other psychometric features. Method Data All variant items were administered as pretest items to at least 400 candidates in order to gather statistical information. No more than three variant items generated from the same source item were selected for one pretest pool, and the administration of the pretest items was controlled through a masking process. This strategy was used in order to reduce the possibility of administering similar items to the same candidate so that the candidate would not think the same item was administered twice.

    But I arrived to Oregon after the board had voted to stop having new nurses enter into the alternative-to-discipline program. Yeah. So there is still out there not moving in that direction. And so I'm doing everything I can to kind of do more, bring data and information to the board, and see what's next. And so I heard you just mentioned ©2024 National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 about the peer model. And I didn't know if you could speak to what states are doing that, because it's been harder to find.

    Heavy workloads may require short breaks every two to three hours while they're working and these strategies can really help to address the workload and extended work hours as well as mitigate some of the effects of work timing. Educate and train, the education and training should provide workers with information on the risks associated with insufficient sleep and fatigue, as well as any evidence-based strategies to employ while working shift work. It is really important to train healthcare workers on these topics as they often do not receive this type of education with their schooling.

  • PDF File Report of the APRN Joint Dialogue Group Based on the Work of the APRN Consensus Group and the NCSBN APRN Committee

    APRN Joint Dialogue Group Report, July 7, 2008 17 face-to-face meetings, audio and teleconferencing, pass-protected access to agency web sites, and regular reporting mechanisms have been recommended. These strategies will build trust and enhance information sharing. Examples of issues to be addressed by the group would be: guaranteeing appropriate representation of APRN roles among accreditation site visitors, documentation of program completion by education institutions, notification of examination outcomes to educators and regulators, notification of disciplinary action toward licensees by boards of nursing.

    They didn't want to change and we felt like that was important to allow them that ability too. So it's not mandated. Its optional for the programs to decide whether or not they want to use it. And that the cost of using the tool should not be prohibitive to programs. Other sources of information that we used to inform the development of the tool, we held focus sessions that included program administrators, program faculty, students, clinical educators, to get their input as to what they wanted the tool to look like. We used the AANA member profile questions.

    NCSBN recognizes that the process of making some of these waivers permanent, particularly some of the telehealth provisions, will require legislative action, while others can be changed through the regulatory process by CMS. We look forward to working with CMS and members of Congress to help put these policy changes into place. NCSBN appreciates the opportunity to comment on this important matter.
