SB 306 California Senate · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Nursing: licensing criteria.

Summary
Existing law, the Nursing Practice Act, until January 1, 2016, provides for the licensure and regulation of registered nurses by the Board of Registered Nursing. Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in the practice of nursing, as defined, without holding a license which is in an active status issued under the act, except as specified. Existing law authorizes every licensee to be known as a registered nurse and to place the letters "R.N." after his or her name. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
