NC BON APRN Advisory Committee

Here is an opportunity to get involved in important work for our profession.

See BON website for full details.

In September, 2009, the Board approved the profile for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Advisory Committee. Consistent with its Strategic Plan for 2010-2013, the Board will establish the committee and identify the committee charge in 2010. The purpose of the committee is to assist and support the Board in issues related to APRN practice and regulation including consideration of the new Licensure, Accreditation, Certification, and Education (LACE) initiative for advanced practice nurses.

The Committee will be composed of up to 8 members including one education representative and one practice representative from each of the four advanced practice roles: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwife, clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner. Committee members will be appointed for an initial term of 2 years with a possibility of reappointment for an additional 2 years. Three to four meetings per year in Raleigh lasting 2-4 hours each are anticipated. Travel expenses will be reimbursed by the Board. The Board will appoint committee members and define the committee charge in May 2010, and meetings will commence shortly thereafter.

Interested individuals should submit a letter of interest and current curriculum vitae to Eileen Kugler, Practice Manager, by April 15, 2010. Committee members must hold a current, unencumbered RN license in North Carolina and have at least 5 years of experience in their area of education or practice and APRN role.
