Proposed Amendment to Rules Governing Program Approval, Minnesota Rule, 6301

In June 2014, the Board charged the Education Committee to review the current program approval rules for revision to include programs that prepare individuals for licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). In October 2014, the Board directed that the Education Committee also consider the need for changes in rule to address distance education and the use of simulation in nursing education. Request for Comments on Possible Amendment to and Repeal of Rules Governing Program Approval, Minnesota Rule 6301 was published in the Monday, November 3, 2014 State Register (39 SR 630). A draft of the proposed rule will be posted on the Board website once it is available.
