In relation to multistate regulation, the National Council provided a structure for Member Boards to study regulatory needs and issues and to identify and evaluate regulatory models relevant to future nursing practice. The National Council facilitates implementation at the state level by providing support and resources to the states. Its Member Boards address common policy questions and develop model tools necessary for implementation of mutual recognition. A model governance structure for the administrators of the compact is now in design. Other tools in development are one for moving mutual recognition legislation forward, another for coalition building and still others related to discipline processes.

It is the responsibility of those in regulation to take necessary measures to protect the public it is responsible for serving. Click the asterisk button to leave feedback.
