CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - December 8, 2009) - The National Council of State Boards of Nursing
(NCSBN®) sets an ambitious research agenda designed to advance the
science of nursing regulation. NCSBN recently added to its body of research
with the publication of a new brief titled, "Factors Affecting Remediation
Outcomes."
This new publication
(https://www.ncsbn.org/09_Factors_Affecting_Remediation_Outcomes_Vol41_CS4.pdf) identifies factors that place nurses at risk for disciplinary action.
The research describes and analyzes the characteristics of disciplined
nurses and the influence of various environmental factors on remediation
outcomes.
"NCSBN is proud to continue producing such cutting-edge regulatory
research," said Kathy Apple, MS, RN, FAAN, NCSBN CEO. "The findings from
our latest study can help NCSBN's member boards, nursing educators, nursing
administrators and other regulatory professionals to not only protect the
public, but to also advance the profession of nursing's body of knowledge."
NCSBN offers a total of 41 volumes of research that include practice
analyses and national surveys of the profession, covering topics such as
nursing education and professional issues. Previously only available for
purchase through NCSBN, these research briefs are now downloadable free of
charge by visiting www.ncsbn.org.
