Overview
This bill amends California law regarding the approval of faculty, directors, and assistant directors at approved schools of nursing and nursing programs. Currently, the Board of Registered Nursing requires applicants to meet specific requirements and may accept remediation plans if they fall short. This bill clarifies the process, specifying that the board must approve applicants who meet requirements and, if needed, accept remediation plans, and allows for mentorship under a board-approved director or assistant director if a remediation plan is accepted for those positions. It also addresses reporting requirements for changes in leadership roles within these programs.
Key provisions
- Requires the Board of Registered Nursing to approve applicants for faculty, director, and assistant director positions at approved nursing schools.
- Allows for the acceptance of remediation plans if an applicant doesn't meet all requirements.
- Authorizes instruction in theory under the mentorship of a content expert if a remediation plan is approved for faculty.
- Permits approval to serve under the mentorship of a board-approved director or assistant director if a remediation plan is approved for directors or assistant directors.
- Establishes a five-year validity period for approved faculty, director, and assistant director approvals with renewal options.
- Requires schools to report changes in director and assistant director positions.
- Excludes certain faculty changes (teaching area, offers of employment, terminations) from reporting requirements.
