Michigan Board of Nursing Administrative Rules
The Board of Nursing will be starting the process of reviewing their current rules this summer. They will be considering changes to the existing rules and drafting new regulations as deemed appropriate. The revision of the administrative rules can take up to two years depending on the extent of the proposed changes or additions to the current rules. In an effort to solicit input from the people who are involved in the nursing profession, the Board is asking you to identify any changes you believe are needed. Below is the form that the Board is asking you to complete if you feel changes are needed or if there are new rules you think should be added.
You are asked to identify the rule number that you would like to see revised or added; the change you recommend and a brief description for why the change is needed. Please also provide a contact name, email address or telephone number in case we have questions about your suggestion.
Your input will be very valuable to the Rules Committee as they start their deliberations so please submit your suggestions as soon as possible.
