It is with great pleasure that I present to you the Arkansas State Board of Nursing’s 2016
Annual Report. This report reflects the Board of Nursing’s activity from July 1, 2015 through June
30, 2016.
The mission of the board of nursing is to protect the public and act as their advocate by
effectively regulating the practice of nursing. The Arkansas State Board of Nursing is composed
of 13 board members. In accordance with state statutes, there are seven registered nurses (RNs)
on the board. Of these seven RNs, two are advanced practice registered nurses with prescriptive
authority; one has (as their highest educational preparation) a diploma, two have an associate degree and two have a baccalaureate or higher degree in nursing. There are three licensed practical
or licensed psychiatric technician nurses and two consumers, one of which represents the elderly
population. One additional at-large member is a licensed registered nurse or licensed practical
nurse. One registered nurse must be an educator. The agency consists of an administrative staff
of 28 hard working and dedicated individuals.
The Board is involved in nursing regulation on the local, state and national levels in order
to address the ever-changing needs of the citizens of Arkansas. The annual report reflects the
myriad of activities conducted by the Boad and its staff in their commitment of fulfilling the mission of public protection. As you review this information, I hope you find the report informative
and useful.

Administrative
The ASBN Administrative Committee serves in an advisory
capacity and makes recommendations to the full Board which align
with the Board’s mission of public protection. The committee provides
oversight on administrative matters and is responsible for providing
direction for the agency. Some of the activities conducted by the
committee include developing and revising agency policies, addressing
legislative issues, evaluating the strategic plan and providing guidance
to staff on various administrative functions. During FY2016 the Administrative Committee conducted a stakeholder survey. The feedback
from the survey was used to develop the 2017-2019 strategic plan. The
committee also planned a retreat for board members and staff. The
purpose of the retreat was to examine the feasibility of developing
an alternative to discipline program in Arkansas. Dr. Debbie Garrett
presented her doctoral project on alternative to discipine programs.
The Nursing Education Committee reviews nursing education issues and standards for the purpose of making recommendations to the Board. The Committee proposes guidelines for use
in implementing the Rules regarding nursing education programs,
reviews new and established nursing education programs and
addresses current nursing education issues and trends. During
FY2016, the Education Committee reviewed and approved six existing nursing programs and gave pre-requisite approval to one PN
program. The committee also appointed a task force to edit and
revise the Chapter 6 Education Standards.

Expense Type
The Arkansas State Board of Nursing
does not receive appropriations of general
revenue from the state. Nurse licensure
fees constitute the agency’s primary financial support. The FY 2016 total revenue was
$2,945,699.11. Expenses for the fiscal year
totaled $2,963,045.39. Total revenue and
expenses includes Board of Nursing operating
fund, nursing student loan fund, continuing
education workshop fund and criminal background check fund.
The Board is required to pay 1.5 percent of revenue fees to the Treasury of the
State of Arkansas. These funds are credited
to the State’s General Fund for appropriation
to various other agencies and services of state
government. The Board paid $42,520.51 to
the General Fund for FY 2016. The financial
statements and graphs on the following pages
reflect the breakdown of revenue and expenses for the fiscal year 2016.
The Nursing Student Loan fund, titled
the Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship Loan,
is a separate fund used only for the purpose
of providing loan/scholarships to nursing
students and nurse educator students. The
program is funded by donations that are deposited into the designated fund. From these
funds, nursing students are awarded loans
that can become scholarships if they work in
the state of Arkansas for one calendar year
after graduation and licensure.
The Continuing Education fund is
also a separate fund that allows the Board
of Nursing to collect registration fees for the
educational workshops provided by the Board
of Nursing. The designated funds from the
registration fees are used to offset the costs
associated with providing this service.
The Criminal Background Check fund
is a separate cash fund the Board uses to collect and submit payments for the federal and
state criminal background checks for applicants and employees. This fund was established to allow ASBN to run the background
checks online. Online processing shortens
the time to receive the results and speeds the
application process.
The ending balance in the operating
fund as of June 30, 2016 was $2,720,727.88.
The balance in the NNB (Continuing Education Workshop) Fund was $19,294.85. The
balance in the NNB (Nursing Loan) Fund was
$133,105.62. The balance in the NNB (Criminal
Background Check) Fund was $2,901.16.

Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship/Loan
The ASBN nursing student loan program was established in 2003 and legislatively revised by Act 9 in
2009. The purpose of the program is to provide funding for individuals attending a nursing program which will lead
to licensure as a nurse or provide a higher degree in nursing. The goal is to increase the number of nurses in practice
settings and faculty in nursing education programs. Representative Tracy Pennartz, the sponsor of the 2009 legislation,
supported nursing education and requested emphasis be placed on nurses desiring to teach in an Arkansas nursing education program.
Applicants apply for one of two types of scholarship/loan. Applicants entering a nursing program that leads to
initial licensure as a nurse or who desire to remain in the practice setting apply for the Practice Loan. Applicants who
are already a nurse and currently teach or plan to teach in a nursing program apply for the Educator Loan. Recipients
of either loan type may have their loans converted to scholarships according to the terms of the loan. Recipients of the
Practice Loan must practice full-time as a nurse in an Arkansas facility one year for each year of the loan and the Educator Loan recipients must teach full-time in an Arkansas nursing program one year for each year of the loan.
The amount of funding varies each semester depending on the qualifications of the applicants and amount of
money available. The table below demonstrates the amount disbursed for scholarship awards by fiscal year.
Since 2010 the majority of loans have been made to individuals
living in Pulaski County (21 percent) with Washington County following at 12 percent. Table 1 displays the counties in color where
past and current recipients live.
Table 1: Recipients by County
Educational Programs
Nursing education programs
attended by the 18 individual recipients of fiscal year 2016, were from
a variety of educational levels with
the majority of recipients attending
a doctorial level program. The table below compares the percent of receipents by type of
degree program between fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2016.
Loan Recipient Status
Each recipient has a nine month grace period following graduation to allow time to secure a nursing position that meets their contract
requirements. During this time and while completing their work requirements they are placed in monitoring status.
Since 2010, one hundred twenty two (122) individuals have received
a scholarship/loan from the
Faith A. Fields Scholarship.
As noted in the table below,
59 have completed the terms of their scholarship by practicing/teaching in
Arkansas. Seven recipients will continue receiving scholarship money for the
upcoming fiscal year. Thirty-three individuals are being monitored for compliance with the terms of the loan and 23 are in collections for repayment of
the loan due to failure to fulfill the terms of the contract. Loan recipients who
fail to complete the nursing program or graduate and do not comply with
the terms of the loan (fail to practice or teach in an Arkansas institution) are
placed into repayment status.

Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship/Loan
Compliance with the terms of this scholarship is very high. At the end
of fiscal year 2016, 75 percent of the recipients have graduated from a nursing
program and work/teach in Arkansas. There are nine recipients who failed to
successfully complete their nursing educational program. The recipients who
have not updated their status are automatically placed into collections for
failure to practice/teach as required by their contract. The maximum funding
allowed to any one recipient is $20,000 and one individual reached that maximum prior to graduation.
Number of Applicants – Fall 2015
Applications for the scholarship/loan are accepted one time each year for the upcoming fall and following spring
semester. There were 44 initial applications (39 practice and 5 educator) submitted for the fall 2015 semester.
Number and Types of Loans
Recipients of the educator loan receive up to $3,000/semester and recipients of the practice loan receive up to
$1,200/semester. A total of 34 loans were granted during the reporting period totaling $51,900. For the fall semester, 11
educator loans and seven practice loans were disbursed. The loans awarded for the following spring semester (2016)
consisted of a continued funding of nine educator loans and seven practice loans. The table below depicts the amount
of funding allocated for the two loan types during the fiscal year.
Scholarship Fund Balance
The balance in the Faith A. Fields Scholarship/Loan at the
beginning of the fiscal year was $166,436.58. Disbursements for
the year totalled $51,900. Deposits to the account consisted of
$3,623.65 in interest, $4,845.39 in loan repayment and $10,100.00
in contributions for an ending balance of $133,105.62. The graph

The Faith A. Fields Scholarship/Loan
program continues to meet its goal of providing
money for individuals attending nursing education
programs. Interest and donations received each

The Nurse Practice Act requires that any person practicing as a(n)
Registered Nurse

Practical Nurse, or
Psychiatric Technician Nurse
in this state shall be licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. Legislation enacted in 1979 authorized the
licensing of registered nurse practitioners. Act 409 of 1995 created advanced practice nurse licensure. This licensure includes the previous categories of certified registered nurse anesthetist and certified nurse midwives and adds
licensure of advanced nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists. Appendix B gives totals of nurses licensed in
Arkansas by licensure category and county of residence. The information is derived from questions that are completed on the licensure renewal forms. Incomplete data indicates that the licensee did not provide that information.

Arkansas State Board of Nursing
2015 - 2016 ANNUAL REPORT EXAMINATIONS
Licensure examinations for registered nurse and practical nurse candidates are administered via computerized
adaptive testing. State boards of nursing contract with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) for
these examinations. In Arkansas, tests are administered by technology centers located in Little Rock, Fort Smith and
Texarkana. A candidate may test at any center nationwide or internationally for licensure by the Board that provided
authorization to test. The licensure examinations have one purpose: to test knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the safe and
effective practice of nursing at the entry level. The use of national RN and PN examinations facilitates licensure by
endorsement from one jurisdiction to another. The passing standard is set by a panel of practicing nurses who are
knowledgeable of entry-level nursing practice. Membership on the panel is open to all NCSBN jurisdictions. Examination
results are reported to boards of nursing and to the candidates as either “pass” or “fail”. Unsuccessful candidates are
provided with a performance report that gives information on areas for remedial study.
The Board participates in the test development system administered by the testing service of the NCSBN. The
Arkansas Board approves practicing nurses to participate in RN and PN item writing, item review and standard-setting
panel.
Graduates of an approved nursing program are eligible for licensure in Arkansas after passing the National
Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX®). The number of registered nurse and licensed practical nurse licenses issued by examination is shown in the following table.

ENDORSEMENTS
Pursuant to the Arkansas Nurse Practice Act, the Board may issue a license to practice nursing by endorsement
to an applicant who is duly licensed as a nurse under the laws of another state, territory or foreign country if the applicant meets Board qualifications. Applicants for endorsement must have successfully completed a nursing education
program, the appropriate NCLEX®, and must be verified by the jurisdiction of original licensure. In addition to these requirements, advanced practice registered nurses shall have documentation of current unencumbered advanced practice
license/authority to practice in another jurisdiction. Nurses licensed in Arkansas by interstate endorsement from each
state during the reporting period are shown in the following tables:

2015 - 2016 ANNUAL REPORT MEDICATION ASSISTANTS - CERTIFIED
Act 1423 of 2005 gave the Board authority to grant certification to qualified unlicensed persons to
administer certain medications in facilities determined by the Board. The Board decided to allow medication
assistants only in Arkansas nursing homes in which nursing supervision is available and nurse patient ratios
are legislatively required. This authorization included persons who have met certain qualifications in Arkansas or who have met substantially similar qualifications and held similar credentials under the law in another
state. In addition, in 2007, persons who have completed a certain portion of a nursing education program
may be eligible to take the certification exam and work as a certified medication assistant if successful. The
numbers of medication assistants granted certification and certified renewals in Arkansas during the reporting period is shown in the following table:

RENEWALS
The Nurse Practice Act requires biennial
license renewal for practicing nurses.
Renewal reminders are mailed at least
thirty days before the license expiration
date. Nurses who allow their licenses
to lapse and who have not practiced
nursing during the preceding licensure
period may be reinstated upon request,
payment of the renewal fee and late
penalty, and after meeting the continuing education requirements. Nurses
who do not renew are in good standing
as long as they do not practice nursing
in Arkansas. Legislation to require
continuing education prior to license
renewal was passed in the 2001 Legislative session.

Any licensee in good standing, who desires to
retire from the practice of nursing for any length of time
in this state, submits a written request, surrenders the
current license and pays the required fee, will have their
current license placed on inactive status and a retired
license issued. A retired license shall be renewed
biennially following submission of a retired renewal

practice nursing; however, the nurse may use respective
credentials. When the licensee desires to resume
practice, he or she shall request a renewal application,
which shall be completed and submitted with a reinstatement fee and the active renewal fee. If the retired
license is allowed to lapse, the licensee shall not hold
himself or herself out as an APRN, RN, LPN or LPTN, and

Federal and Arkansas criminal background checks are required of all individuals applying for an initial license
in Arkansas. During the 2015-2016 fiscal year, 5,182 Arkansas criminal background checks and 4,736 federal criminal
background checks were entered into the board’s database. There were 705 investigations completed on applicants
with a positive criminal background check.
The roster of ASBN approved medication assistant and nursing programs which lead to licensure or certifica
tion is included as Appendix A of this report.
Enrollment in the educational programs is reported to the Board in a report submitted by program directors
annually in December. Enrollment figures reported for the three-year period (2012-2014) are shown on the following
pages of this report. For consistency in data collection, the term “nursing major” was defined in 1993. Nursing major
includes only those students in nursing courses and accepted for the degree or diploma program. Arkansas State Board of Nursing

EDUCATION
The Arkansas State Board of Nursing has statutory authority to oversee nursing educational program compliance with mandated regulations and educational standards as established by the Arkansas legislature. A nursing
program that is approved initially progresses through a three- tiered process of approval that includes Prerequisite
Approval, Initial Approval and Full Approval.
A nursing program that is approved continues to be reviewed for continued compliance with the educational standards as delineated in the Rules. The staff periodically conducts a program review to verify compliance. A new
program has an on–site survey three (3) years after initial full approval. Established programs have an on-site survey
every five (5) years or if they have continued accreditation status from a national nursing accreditation organization
and maintain a National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX®) passage rate of 75 percent or higher; they are allowed
to submit a paper survey to ASBN versus an on-site review. There are two (2) approval designations for established programs that prepare graduates for licensure that include Continued Full Approval and Conditional Approval.
