An Act relative to waiving education requirements for skilled veterans to be LPNs

This bill creates a waiver program allowing skilled veterans who have completed military medical training to become licensed practical nurses without graduating from an approved nursing school. It directly affects veterans who wish to enter the nursing profession by removing the standard education requirement for LPN certification. The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing is tasked with establishing this program, while the Department of Public Health must create specific regulations for it by January 1, 2024.
