| Legend: Rules and Regulations of Registered Nurses Chapter 1000-01-.05 (4)(a)(b)(c) |
| Initial Approval: Initial approval is granted a new school that has not been in operation long enough to graduate its first class but demonstrates its eligibility for full approval. Any agency or institution wishing to establish a school of nursing shall follow the Board policies for approval. This type of approval is essentially a tentative approval that is granted to a new school. The program is reviewed each year; and after the first students are graduated, the program is considered for full approval. |
| Full Approval: Full approval is granted a school that has met the requirements that are set forth by the Board and has demonstrated its ability to provide an educational program which meets the Board’s standards. Full approval may be granted to any school of nursing, having an initial or conditional approval and thereafter for a period of two years, if, in the opinion of the Board, it meets the minimum requirements of the Board and has demonstrated that it is providing an adequate educational program. |
| Conditional Approval: Conditional approval is accorded a school which has failed to maintain minimum standards of the Board and has been notified that it must meet the Board’s requirements within one (1) year from the date of notice. A school previously having initial or full approval may be granted conditional approval, if, in the opinion of the Board, it fails to meet the major educational criteria and/or curriculum standards. If within a period of one (1) year the school has not demonstrated evidence of meeting the major criteria and/or standards, conditional approval shall be withdrawn. |
