Public Access to Nursys The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. has announced the availability of public access to Nursys to assist with nurse licensure verifications. Nursys is a national repository consisting of licensure and discipline data from 27 boards of nursing. Public access to Nursys includes verification information for registered and practical nurses. APN licensure data is not yet available. The Nursys Licensure QuickConfirm system provides online nurse licensure verifications to employers and others. The reports provide data on licensure, discipline, and status of privilege to practice in states within the Nurse Licensure Compact. Proof of licensure is available for all nurses within participating compact jurisdictions. Nursys is the only national verification source that reports practice privilege restrictions for nurses within compact jurisdictions. The fee to verify an unlimited number of licensees from compact states is $5 per nurse. Additional information can be found at www.Nursys .com or by e-mail at nursysinfo@ncsbn.org. Delaware licensure verification continues to be available for nurses employed in Delaware facilities by calling or e-mailing staff at the Board office. Page 2 Delaware Board of Nursing D e l a w a r e B o a r d o f N ur s i n g B o a r d M e m b e r s Name Work Phone # Term Expires Janet West, RN, MSN, President Dr. Lucille Gambardella, RN, Ph.D., Vice President Wanda Cohee, LPN Member Doris Dayton, Public Member Ruth Fournier, RN, MSN Member Martha Hopkins, Public Member Margaret Ingram, LPN Member Robert Lawson, Public Member Deborah Maichle, RN, MSN Member Jan Monihan, RN, M.Ed Member Diana Padula, LPN Member Til Purnell, Public Member Dr. James Vanderwall, Public Member Irene Washabau Pamela Zickafoose, RN Member (302) 654-5392 (302) 736-2512 (302) 430-5737 10/21/04 08/29/04 08/02/06 04/03/03 10/20/03 11/19/04 04/10/05 05/12/06 08/15/04 08/15/04 10/20/03 04/03/03 04/10/05 09/14/04 05/16/06 (302) 739-4651 (302) 857-6252 (302) 430-5581 (302) 225-0451 (302) 645-3225 (302) 855-5570 Del awar e B oar d of Nursing Staff For scope of practice, disciplinary, and Advanced Practice Nurse application information, please contact: Iva Boardman, RN, MSN, Executive Director (302) 744-4517 iva.boardman@state.de.us To request applications and forms, request the status of applications, and general information, please contact: Scott H.

A special thank you to those licensees and employers who patiently partnered with us during several unique challenges, especially during the February and September cycles. The Division of Profes- sional Regulation is moving toward online renewal processing. Within the next year, renewal will be online unless the licensee opts to proceed by paper and pencil. Stay tuned. December 8th, 2003. If you do not receive you application by January 2nd, 2004, please write, e-mail or fax your request for a duplicate renewal application. LPN’s! It is now your turn. Renewal applications will be mailed during the week of LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES ON THE HORIZON After reviewing the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) uniform licensure requirements and nurse licensure compact, Board members agreed to submit legislation that proposes a Master’s requirement as the educational requirement for APN licensure after an established date. Certificate prepared licensees with licensure as of that established date will not be affected by the requirement. At the suggestion of its’ Joint Practice Committee, the Board plans to move forward with proposed legislation that would eliminate the requirement for APN’s to have collaborative agreements who do not have prescriptive authority. In addition, the New look for Temporar y Per mits! In an effort to best utilize the recent upgrade to our licensure software, we weill be changing the current temporary permit card format. The new format will incoporate the current elements of name, permit number, level of licensure, dates, place of practice for RN’s, LPN’s, GN’s, and GPN’s and Specialty for APN’s PLUS general information about practice with a permit and the licensure process. A sample is included on the next page. The transition from card to letter format will be implemented between January 2-15, 2004. Board isis proposing that the Joint Board Practice Committee’s decisions receive final approval from the Board of Nursing, rather than the Board of Medical Practice. Volume 22, Issue 1 FALL 2003 Page 5 Delaware Board of Nursing 861 Silver Lake Boulevard, Cannon Building, Suite 203 Dover, DE 19904-2467 Phone: (302) 744-4516 – (302) 744-4515 This story can fit 150-200 words. product.
