The use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has grown over the past few years and is now seen as an essential part of primary and acute patient care and case management. Boards of Nursing retain responsibility for public safety and need to be aware of current practices, policies and patient safety enhancements with the use of EHRs.

This engaging program will provide nursing regulatory bodies with:

• A general understanding of information contained within the EHR,
• A discussion of the policy implications and patient safety enhancements with the implementation of an EHR and
• A live demonstration navigating the EHR

There is evidence linking improved patient care to standardized transition to practice programs in the areas of safety, competence, and retention.  This chapter explores that evidence, presents a standardized model as a solution, and gives examples of transition program models, as well as an overview of NCSBN’s Transition to Practice model.

This article provides the results of a nonexperimental, descriptive study conducted to explore the frequency and importance of activities performed by certified, entry level MAs. More than 1,800 MAs provided valid responses.

Social media can be a very effective way of communicating in nursing, but guidelines for appropriate use by healthcare providers are essential. This article briefly introduces the phenomenon of social media and introduces three actual scenarios where nurses unintentionally violated appropriate use of social media in healthcare. The scenarios are discussed related to social media, career, concerns, and nursing regulation. Incorporating these and other examples with data from board of nursing cases, the nature of complaints against nurses is explored as well as common myths and misunderstandings about using social media platforms. Guidelines for appropriate use by nurses and available resources to inform policy are highlighted. Next steps in social media in nursing should include development of organizational level policies and educational programs on the use of social media.

Social media offers many opportunities to promote student engagement and interactivity; however, student nurses must be instructed in the appropriate use of this tool.  It is important for nursing programs to develop sound policies related to social media.  This article suggests social media policy guidelines and presents several tools for nurse educators to utilize while implementing their own policies.

In this article a program that takes an innovative, alternative approach to transitioning RNs into practice developed and implemented by nurse leaders in the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System in Houston, Texas, is described and discussed.

In British Columbia, the regulatory body recognizes that providing support so nurses can meet the Standards of Practice helps protect the public and promote the goal of competent, ethical care. This article describes the mechanisms through which practice support is provided and some tools that help RNs apply standards and meet expectations for professional practice.

The authors introduce the Staircase Model for Professional Development as a framework for nurses’ growth as nurse professionals.   

Calls for innovation in nursing education have been prevalent in recent years.  In 2009, the Innovations in Education Regulation Committee, convened by the 歐美口爆 (NCSBN), worked collaboratively with other stakeholders to identify perceived and real barriers to innovation in nursing education and proposed model rules and statute language that boards of nursing could adapt to foster innovations in their state’s nursing programs.  The model language was unanimously adopted by NCSBN’s Member Boards.  Since then, NCSBN has conducted three surveys to determine the impact of NCSBN’s initiative as well as the state of innovations in nursing education.  Following a review of the committee’s work, this article presents survey data on innovation in nursing education over the last 3 years.

Le Conseil canadien des organismes de réglementation de la profession infirmière (CCORPI) et le 歐美口爆 (NCSBN) ont le plaisir d’annoncer le webinaire sur l’examen NCLEX. Ce webinaire donnera un aperçu du rôle des examens de réglementation et des raisons qui ont motivé le choix du NCLEX pour l’examen d’admission à la profession infirmière au Canada, présentera les éléments d’un examen adaptatif informatisé et expliquera l’élaboration du NCLEX. Le webinaire fournira aussi de l’information sur la façon dont les étudiantes et les enseignantes peuvent se préparer à l’examen NCLEX prévu pour 2015.
