SUMMARY REPORT ON RENEWAL OF LICENSEES WITH DEFAULTED STUDENT LOANS
In accordance with Louisiana Revised Statute 38:2951, the Louisiana State Board of Nursing withheld the 2008 licensure renewals on thirty-seven (37) registered nurses who were deemed by the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA) to be in default of a student loan. Certified letters were mailed notifying these registered nurses that their 2008 renewal could not be processed until the Board received notification from LOSFA that payment arrangements had been made. As of February 6, 2008, twenty-eight (28) of the thirty-seven (37) individuals had complied with LOSFA and were permitted to seek licensure renewal. One (1) nurse of the remaining nine (9) had her license suspended for non-compliance, and the remaining eight (8) were placed on a delinquent licensure status and were not able to practice as a registered nurse in Louisiana.
SUMMARY REPORT ON RELICENSURE AUDIT
In accordance with LAC 46:XLVII.3335.I.2, the Louisiana State Board of Nursing performed an audit on the continuing educational requirements for 2007 license renewal on one-thousand-two-hundred-twenty-six (1226) registered nurses. Letters were mailed to these nurses advising that they had been selected for the random audit. Of the one-thousand-two-hundred-twenty-six (1226) registered nurses selected, one-thousand-one-hundred-thirty-five (1135) were compliant. Ninety-one (91) nurses were non-compliant with the following breakdown:
- Sixteen (16) signed Consent Orders for audit non-compliance - Ten (10) nurses went Inactive - Twelve (12) submitted explanation and given 30 days to complete CEs and met
that deadline - Forty-eight (48) provided written explanation for cause in not meeting audit and
waived - Two (2) had already been disciplined for other cause - Two (2) were deceased - One (1) retired
In accordance with LAC 46:XLVII.4513.D.5, the Louisiana State Board of Nursing performed an audit on the continuing competency for prescriptive authority for 2007 license renewal on thirty (30) advanced practice nurses. Letters were mailed to these nurses advising they had been selected to audit the additional hours of pharmacology needed for their prescriptive authority privileges. All thirty (30) APRNs were compliant.

NURSING EDUCATION ARTICULATION IN LOUISIANA
The Louisiana Nursing Articulation Model was developed in 2005 to assure that Louisiana programs in nursing were providing opportunities for articulation for the Louisiana nurse population. The model has been adopted by both regulatory boards of nursing and is in place in all programs preparing for RN licensure. In 2006, there were five hundred eighty-four (584) licensed practical nurses enrolled in programs preparing for RN licensure and there were two hundred forty (240) RNs enrolled who were seeking baccalaureate degrees. The model is comprehensive and is consistent with trends throughout the United States. The model is as follows:
Louisiana Nursing Education Articulation Model Overview: Through Act 818 of the 1991 Louisiana Legislature, the Nursing Supply and Demand Commission (NSDC) was established and charged, in part, with the responsibility of developing an articulation model that was organized and integrated in such a fashion to permit the maximum amount of prior training to be credited against the requirements of any subsequent nursing education program(s). This plan was to include nursing assistant through the baccalaureate degree in nursing. To this end, the NSDC adopted an articulation model in 1993 entitled Articulation Plan for Nursing in Louisiana and presented the report to the Joint Legislative Committee on Health and Welfare on April 6, 1993. Through this legislation, the nursing boards were charged with review of standards and action necessary to implement the articulated curricula required. In addition, there was a charge to the Board of Regents and other education management boards relative to implementation of the plan. That model did and continues to enhance upward mobility in nursing education within Louisiana. The enclosed document reflects a refinement and update of that model. Revisions are proposed to augment the progression of individuals through all levels of nursing education from nursing assistant to registered nurse. The revisions allow for:
• Streamlining of the current process of awarding transfer and advanced placement credit at all levels
• Continuity across programs in the process of awarding transfer and advanced placement nursing credit
• Greater ease in the transfer process for students • Ease in awarding transfer and advanced placement credit for the educational
institution • A decrease in the time it takes a student to graduate, which addresses also, the
current health care personnel shortages
27
The revisions bring the model in line with national trends and also make it consistent with national articulation models.
Definition:
• Articulation is defined as a process through which academic programs facilitate the educational progress with minimal loss of credit and duplication of knowledge and skills.
Goals:
• To facilitate the educational mobility of nursing personnel across the state • To increase the nursing health care workforce • To provide seamless progression in nursing education • To meet the educational needs of the citizens of Louisiana • To assure a qualified healthcare workforce that meets the health care needs of the
state Assumptions:
• There is a common core of knowledge, attitudes, cognitive and psychomotor skills that graduates of all three types of nursing programs should acquire; however, there are distinct differences in the breadth, depth, scope of preparation and knowledge of each type of graduate1
• Not every individual wishes to seek credentials at the next practice level, however, the opportunity for academic progression should be available for those that wish to do so
• Clinical experiences at each level contribute to the overall knowledge base • Public awareness of articulation initiatives is critical to their success • Adherence to Board of Regents transfer matrix for general education courses is
occurring at all public post-secondary educational institutions in the state
Implementation Standards: • Each school must have autonomy to set admission/progression/graduation
requirements • Nursing programs in practical, associate and baccalaureate degree programs must
meet standards determined by the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners or Louisiana State Board of Nursing
• All graduates must meet minimum program and curriculum standards • Any articulation plan must maintain professional standards and promote quality
instruction • Articulation plans must adhere to the standards of higher education regulatory
boards • Articulation is a mandatory process for all nursing education programs in
Louisiana • Adequate faculty and clinical practice facilities are available to support the
program
28
General Expectations Of All Students: • Student must meet admission requirements of the
University/College/School/Technical Program • Student must meet all prerequisite and/or general education core requirements • Student must be a graduate of a Certified Nursing Assistant Program, approved

• Must be a graduate of an approved LPN Program • Must hold an unencumbered license as a practical nurse in

Additional Notes: Institutions will follow Institutional policy relative to the age of coursework being transferred. All public institutions must follow the Board of Regents Transfer Matrix for transfer of General Education Courses. The Louisiana State Board of Nursing and the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners will take action to allow for full implementation of the Louisiana Nursing Education Articulation Model by Fall 2005. The Louisiana Nursing Education Articulation Model will be implemented fully for all new students entering in Fall 2005. The Louisiana State Board of Nursing and the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners are charged with assuring compliance in implementation of and ongoing utilization of the Louisiana Nursing Education Articulation Model and will report annually to appropriate official public agencies through the annual reports of the respective Boards.
