| Purpose/Function | The board prescribes minimum curricula and standards for practical nurses, examines and licenses qualified applicants, accredits practical nurse schools and courses, and conducts hearings upon charges calling for discipline of a license. |
| Budget Message | The major revenue source for the Board is the license fee. The license fee was increased in 2009-from $30 to $50. Following a fee increase revenue exceeds expenses for several years and a positive fund balance is amassed. Board expenses increase each year without a concomitant fee increase. The Board expects to draw against the fund balance in FY 2012. No major financial issues and/or significant changes are expected in FY12 or FY13. |
