Cruise Control: NLC Compliance
Join a series of engaging sessions to learn about party state compliance — in terms of licensure, Nursys, alternative to discipline, and enforcement — and view your role through the lens of party state responsibilities under the compact.
Licensure: A Solid Foundation for the NLC
Uniform licensure requirements are the backbone of the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact. Join us for a 30-minute segment of NLC news and interviews that demonstrate how consistent enforcement of these requirements by party states ensures that both nurses and the public can have confidence in the compact. Consistent application of the uniform licensure requirements during the initial application and licensure process is one of the most important responsibilities of a party state. Our hope is that the licensure portion of the self-assessment will allow boards to think about application processing and licensure procedures through the lens of their responsibilities under the compact.
Nursys: A Critical Tool Driving NLC Success
Nursys has a variety of information, tools and reports ready at your fingertips. But how exactly do you navigate Nursys and take appropriate steps to ensure compliance with uploading licensure information, processing speed memos, turning on Nurse Alert when there is a significant investigation and more? This educational session will poll your knowledge, engage you in discussion, demonstrate Nursys functionality and share categories of speed memos and examples.
Avoiding Regulatory Dead Ends
We have all heard of “bad apple” nurses. The story of Charles Cullen, “the angel of death” gained worldwide attention and inspired the writing of the Good Nurse, a true story about medicine, killing and monstrosity. Bad nurse cases demonstrate the vitality of ensuring boards of nursing enforce rules and regulations that protect patient safety such as sharing of investigative information, taking adverse action such as revoking a license, or limiting the practice of a nurse. This storytelling session will share a hypothetical situation to help you better understand enforcement and why coordination through the compact is vital to protecting the public.
Navigating the ATD Route
We know that participation in an alternative to discipline program is like a red light to getting a multistate license (MSL). When enrolled in an ATD program, the applicant is not eligible for a MSL. Period. However, what other key things do you need to know regarding ATD participation to ensure your board is compliant with the compact statute and rules? This quick hit session will provide you with five key takeaways you need to know.
Administering NLC Road Rules
What are the few critical elements which are required for state participation and administration of the NLC. This session will test your knowledge and provide a quick refresh on a few aspects of compact administration.
