Nursing regulatory boards have long taken disciplinary action against licensees who have violated Nursing Practice Acts. License suspensions are a common penalty for such violations, but rehabilitation and regaining competence also must be considered. The North Carolina Board of Nursing has developed and implemented two courses, Legal-Ethical Decision Making, and Pharmacology, which may be required of licensees as part of the disciplinary process. Developed by board staff, the courses are taught by independently contracted nurse instructors located throughout the state. During the courses, the licensees must acknowledge their specific violation and explore the reasons for occurrence and strategies for prevention. Upon completion of the course, instructors submit required course materials that are used for consideration of relicensure decisions. This article describes the development and implementation of the instruction program, as well as descriptive data on the licensees.
长期以来，护理监管委员会一直在对违反《护理实践法》的持牌人采取纪律处分措施。执照暂停是此类违规行为的常见处罚，但康复和恢复能力也必须予以考虑。北卡罗来纳州护理委员会开发并实施了两门课程，即法律伦理决策和药理学，作为纪律处分程序的一部分，持牌人可能需要学习这两门课程。这些课程由委员会工作人员开发，由全州各地独立签约的护士教员授课。在课程期间，持牌人必须承认自己的具体违规行为，并探究违规发生的原因和预防策略。课程结束后，教员提交所需的课程材料，用于重新获得执照决定的审议。本文介绍了该教学计划的开发和实施情况，以及持牌人的描述性数据。
