An important part of our work is accomplished through regulatory committees that are established to help fulfill our mandate of public protection. Our regulatory committees function at arm’s length from our day-to-day work and include volunteer nurses and members of the public who make objective decisions related to the registration and licensing, practice and conduct of nurses in Nova Scotia.
The Education Program Approval Committee advises and makes recommendations to the Board on matters pertaining to setting standards for and approving education programs: entry-level nursing programs (RN & LPN), nurse practitioner programs and re-entry programs in the province. They also recommend frequency of approval reviews.
