We heard you!
Membership worried about compromising core standards – is eligibility requirement
Changed from “waiving” or “exempting” to current legislative language of “innovative approach”
Length of application limited
Continued concerns
Limiting numbers of applications
“Our rules are already flexible enough”
Remember:
Your Board may not need to incorporate these because your current rules are flexible and allow for innovation, but other Boards would like a template for fostering innovations.
You can adapt these to meet your needs.
Session III: Innovations in Education Regulation Committee Forum

Unlocking the Possibilities: The Key to Regulatory Excellence9
Other committee recommendations for staff:1. NCSBN will create a Web site to serve as
a clearinghouse for those innovative education approaches that Boards of Nursing approve.
2. If the model rules are adopted at the 2009 Delegate Assembly, NCSBN will disseminate that information in NCSBN’s new journal, in Leader to Leader, and in Council Connector, for the purpose of encouraging innovative approaches.
Other committee recommendations for staff:
3. NCSBN will establish a plan to evaluate whether Boards of Nursing have adopted the innovation model rules and whether they have been effective in fostering innovations in nursing education.
“The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.”
