2014 Annual Report Louisiana State Board of Nursing 2014 Annual Report “Safeguarding the life and health of the citizens of Louisiana.” Louisiana State Board of Nursing 17373 Perkins Road Baton Rouge, LA 70810 www.lsbn.state.la.us Letter to the Governor, Members of the Legislature, Other State Agencies, Healthcare Community, Academic Institutions, and the Citizens of Louisiana: Having completed my first year as Executive Director of the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN), it is with a deep sense of accomplishment that I share with Governor Jindal, state officials and my professional colleagues as well as the general public the accomplishments of this agency during 2014. The mission of LSBN is to safeguard the life and health of the citizens of Louisiana by assuring persons practicing as registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses are competent and safe. The purpose of the 2014 Annual Report is to validate the activities and actions of the Board for the period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and to provide data related to nursing education, nursing practice, licensure, and discipline. Additionally, this report identifies specific issues relative to educational capacity for Registered Nurses (RNs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) in Louisiana and other workforce data for the profession. The year 2014 was especially productive for the LSBN in the area of rule-making. In compliance with the Louisiana Administrative Procedures Act, we were able to promulgate new rules related to Title 46, Subpart 2: Registered Nurses, §3341 Fees for Registration and Licensure to allow for limited fee increases and §3328 Temporary Permits Rules and Regulations and §4513 Authorized Practice to allow for temporary prescriptive authority for APRNs during a formal, declared disaster. Our goal is to build on our successes and to continue to promulgate strategy-driven, outcomes- oriented processes. With every regulatory, disciplinary, practice and educational decision that we make, our overarching goal is to improve health outcomes for all Louisianans.
