Nursing: approved schools.
Summary
Existing law, the Nursing Practice Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of registered nurses by the Board of Registered Nursing. Existing law requires the board to prepare and maintain a list of approved schools of nursing in this state and defines an approved school of nursing as one that, among other requirements, is an institution of higher education or is affiliated with an institution of higher education. For purposes of this provision, existing law specifies that the term "institution of higher education" includes community colleges offering an associate degree. This bill would instead specify that the term "institution of higher education" includes, but is not limited to, community colleges and private postsecondary institutions offering an associate of arts or associate of science degree.
