What is Washington Board of Nursing and what are its major responsibilities?
Washington Board of Nursing is more commonly known as Washington State Nursing Care Quality Commission (WSNCQC), but for reader’s convenience, I’ll use the word ‘Board’ as a synonym for WSNCQC.
Each state of US is obligated to have a nursing board, which will be administering all nursing professionals in US state.
Board is a state agency, which is responsible for licensing and certification of various nursing professionals including registered nurses as well as APRN in Wisconsin.
The board is meant for public and provides various services and education programs.
If you have any complaint regarding violation of any nursing law or misbehavior against any nursing professional, you can log on to board’s website and file an online complaint.
Board will certainly act against the guilty nursing associate.
The board keeps various records for public assistance, which are related to performance of nursing professional and facilities in Washington State.
