Join the NSCN Board - Application Coming Soon!
In just a few short weeks, the NSCN Board will begin its search for two qualified registrants to sit on the Board. This year, at least one of the new Board members must be an LPN in order to meet the Board composition requirements of the Nursing Act. Members of the Board make important decisions in the public’s interest that shape the regulation of nursing and promote public safety.
From February 14 – March 13, registrants will have the opportunity to apply for vacant Board positions and demonstrate how they meet the desired competencies, skills and/or attributes identified by the Nominating Committee. The online application process is simple, user-friendly and designed to meet your technology needs. If you are interested in a Board position, watch for an email from NSCN on February 14, 2024.
The NSCN Board has also implemented a few changes to the nomination and election process to increase efficiencies for both applicants and NSCN. Read more about joining the Board and these changes here.
