Nursing Board
A Nursing Board is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing the practice of nursing within a specific region or country. Its primary functions include setting educational standards, licensing nurses, and ensuring that they adhere to professional conduct and ethical guidelines. This helps maintain the quality of care provided to patients and protects public health.
Nursing Boards also handle complaints and disciplinary actions against nurses who violate regulations. They may offer resources for continuing education and professional development, ensuring that nurses stay updated on best practices and advancements in the field. This oversight is crucial for maintaining trust in the nursing profession and ensuring patient safety.
