title: Perspectives of schools of nursing on nursing regulation.
abstract: Nursing programs in 34 jurisdictions were surveyed to discover their perceptions of state board of nursing performance. They were asked for their perceptions of the adequacy of current regulation, effectiveness of regulation in protecting the public, perceptions of board communication methods, and satisfaction with services received. Nursing programs were also asked to rate how essential board of nursing involvement is in the approval of nursing programs. Programs reported too much regulation in the area of education program approval and perceive nursing regulation as fairly effective in promoting quality in education, responding to health care changes, and responding to innovation in education.
