SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Nursing is amending Regulations 91-13.d. and 91-15.d. to allow the nurse licensure examination to be repeated every forty-five (45) days instead of every three months, as currently provided. This change is consistent with a recent change in the testing procedure of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which administers the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
