Find out whether the members of your state board of nursing are elected or appointed. What is the composition of the board (that is, how many RNs, licensed practical/vocational nurses, and consumers are there, for example)? Do nurses hold most of the seats on the state board? Are there any other health professionals, such as physicians, on the board of nursing? If so, are there any nurses on the state board of medicine?
