Nursing regulation is a specialty area of nursing practice that some may perceive as only performing licensing and disciplinary functions. However, highly effective boards strive to meet their mission of public protection through continuous innovation. This article describes several innovative programs initiated by a board of nursing. Among the examples include regulatory waivers during the pandemic, collaborations with stakeholder organizations, a resource for nursing peer-review committees, and an alternative remediation option for practice breakdown. With strong leadership and committed teams, regulation can both protect the public and play a part in actualizing the value of nursing.
护理监管是护理实践的一个专业领域，有些人可能认为它只执行许可和纪律职能。然而，高效的护理委员会努力通过不断创新来履行其保护公众的使命。本文介绍了一个护理委员会发起的几个创新项目。其中包括大流行期间的监管豁免、与利益相关者组织的合作、护理同行评审委员会的资源，以及实践失误的替代补救选择。在强有力的领导和团队的支持下，监管既可以保护公众，又可以在实现护理价值方面发挥作用。
