The Minnesota Board of Nursing regulates and licenses nurses.
The Board’s mission is to protect the public’s health and safety through regulation of nursing education, licensure, and practice through:
- Licensing;
- Education;
- Discipline/complaint resolution;
- Nursing practice standards;
- Data.
The Board of Nursing holds nurses accountable for conduct based on legal, ethical, and professional standards.
Once a license is issued, the Board monitors licensees’ compliance with state law and takes action against the licenses of nurses who have exhibited unsafe nursing practices and present a risk of harm to the public.
