Nursing Board Replaces Its Two Physicians with Two Voting Consumers
The Board of Nursing published a Rule in July that replaces the two physicians on the nine- member board and adds two consumers.
“Currently, we have nine registered nurse members and two physicians who serve as ex- officio non-voting members of the board. During the 2016 Legislative Session, the two seats that are currently held by physicians changed to allow any citizen of the United States and resident of Louisiana and who have never practiced nursing to obtain either seat. These two consumer members will be voting members of the Louisiana State Board of Nursing.”
