Board of Nursing Standards

The Board of Nursing Standards are guidelines and rules set by a regulatory body to ensure nurses provide safe, ethical, and competent care. These standards specify the knowledge, skills, and professional behavior expected of nurses. They cover areas like patient safety, confidentiality, professional conduct, and ongoing education. The purpose is to protect the public by ensuring nurses meet consistent levels of quality care and adhere to ethical practices. Nurses are responsible for following these standards to maintain their licensure and to promote trust and safety in healthcare.
