Nurses, Nursing - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee Nursing Education Integrity and Oversight Act." - Amends TCA Title 49 and Title 63.

HB 1905 establishes a temporary 2-year moratorium (starting when the bill takes effect) on approving new out-of-state nursing programs that want to operate, enroll students, or place students for clinical experiences in Tennessee. Existing out-of-state programs approved before the bill's effective date must submit detailed data to the Board of Nursing and the Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement, including preceptor lists and student placement statistics. The bill requires the Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement to develop new standards for out-of-state programs by June 2027, focusing on verifying preceptor licenses, tracking student outcomes, and ensuring patient safety. This directly affects out-of-state nursing education programs seeking clinical placements in Tennessee and the state agencies responsible for oversight.
