Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Board of Nursing; faculty supervision of direct client care; faculty-to-student ratio. Directs the Board of Nursing to allow nursing education programs to apply for a waiver of the student-to-faculty ratios for direct client care. Under the bill, such waiver would permit a nursing education program to increase the ratio of students to faculty engaged in direct client care from 10 students per faculty member up to, but not to exceed, 15 students per faculty member. Current regulations permit faculty to supervise up to 10 students providing such care per faculty member without the utilization of a preceptor.
