What is a Board of Nursing?
In 1917, the South Dakota Board of Nursing was established by state government to protect the public’s health by overseeing and ensuring the safe practice of nursing. The Board achieves this mission by establishing standards for safe nursing care and issuing licenses to practice nursing. Once a license is issued, the Board’s job continues by monitoring licensees’ compliance to state laws and taking action against licenses of those nurses who have exhibited unsafe nursing practice. Individuals who serve on the Board of Nursing are appointed; state law dictates that membership include a mix of licensed registered nurses, licensed practical/vocational nurses, and consumers (public members). The Board meets to oversee nursing activities and to take disciplinary action on nurse licenses as necessary. An educated consumer is an important partner to the Board in making sure that unsafe nursing practice is eliminated. This document contains specific information for consumers who want to know h
