Nurse Licensure Compact Benefits ExplainedOn October 1, 2015, there will be 25 states participating in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). The NLC provides professional mobility for nurses whose practice may cross the borders of one compact state to another compact state. Texas has been part of the NLC since January 1, 2000. In the next few issues of the Bulletin, the Board will answer questions commonly asked about the NLC.

Question: What does a travel nurse need to do to be eligible for multistate privileges on a license from any of the compact states?Answer: An essential component to secure multistate privileges is declaring a state of residence in a state participating in the NLC. Proof of Texas residency may include a Texas address on a Texas driver’s license; a voter registration card reflecting a Texas address; a federal income tax return declaring Texas as the state of residence; or a W-2 form indicating Texas as the state of residence. For military personnel, Military Form No. 2058 – state of legal residence certificate, reflecting Texas as the legal residence, will also serve as acceptable documentation of the residency requirements. In addition, the eligibility requirements for a Texas license are accessible in Licensure then Eligibility on the BON website. There is a Primary State of Residence Declaration Form in the Forms section of the BON website for nurses to fill out when declaring Texas as the state of residency.


Summary of ActionsA regular meeting of the Board of Nursing was held July 23-24, 2015, in Austin.

The following is a summary of Board actions taken during this meeting.

Nursing Education Actions - July 2015 Board Meeting

At the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Nursing (BON or Board) held on July 23-24, 2015, the Board approved the repeal and simultaneous adoption of new: 22 Tex. Admin. Code §213.27, pertaining to Good Professional Character; §213.28, pertaining to Licensure of Persons with Criminal Offenses; §213.29, pertaining to Criteria and Procedure Regarding Intemperate Use and Lack of Fitness in Eligibility and Disciplinary Matters; §213.30, pertaining to Declaratory Order of Eligibility for Licensure; and §213.33, pertaining to Factors Considered for Imposition of Penalties/Sanctions.

The Board also approved amendments to: Eligibility and Disciplinary Sanctions for Nurses with Substance Abuse, Misuse, Substance Dependency, or other Substance Use Disorder; Disciplinary Sanctions for Fraud, Theft, and Deception; Disciplinary Sanctions for Lying and Falsification; Disciplinary Guidelines for Criminal Conduct; and

Guidelines for Physical and Psychological Evaluations. Amendments to the Guidelines and Sanctions were published as adopted in the August 28, 2015 issue of the Texas Register.

In an effort to maintain consistency among the Board’s eligibility and disciplinary policies, guidelines, and rules, the BON Eligibility and Disciplinary Advisory Committee (EDAC) reviewed Board Rules 213.27, 213.28, 213.29, 213.30, and 213.33 in conjunction with the Board’s eligibility and disciplinary sanction policies and criminal guidelines in meetings taking place from 2012 to 2015. The EDAC’s recommendations were adopted by the Board at its regularly scheduled July 2015 Board meeting. The proposed repeal and simultaneous adoption of new Rules 213.27, 213.28, 213.29, 213.30, and 213.33 were published in the August 28, 2015 issue of the Texas Register with the earliest effective date being September 27, 2015.

In the August 14, 2015 issue of the Texas Register, the Board published as adopted an amendment to §223.1, concerning Fees.

The amendment was adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the June 26, 2015, issue of the Texas Register to meet funding requirements resulting from the 84th Texas Legislative Session. Senate Bill 195, enacted by the 84th Texas Legislature, became effective on September 1, 2015. The bill transfers the prescription monitoring program from the Department of Public Safety to the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. The bill authorizes the Texas State Board of Pharmacy to charge a fee to cover the cost of establishing and maintaining the program. Each agency that licenses individuals or entities to prescribe or dispense controlled substances is authorized to increase its occupational fees in order to generate sufficient revenue to support the operation of the program. The $15.00 fees that are generated are remitted to the Texas State Board of Pharmacy to support the funding of the program.

Disaster relief nursing can be both rewarding and challenging. Nurses working in disaster-stricken areas face unpredictable environments, scarce re-sources, and risks to physical and mental health.1 Disasters are commonly thought of in reference to catastrophic weather or seismic events. Bioterrorism shifted attention to the threat of widespread illness and disease due to the intentional release of bacteria, viruses, or other germs. With the Ebola outbreak of 2014, the threat included widespread illness and death due to infection with Ebola virus. Disasters resulting in injury and/or illness provide perfect opportunities for nurses to volunteer.

The Ebola outbreak of 2014 affected primarily three West African countries: Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Over 12,000 people have died thus far, includ-ing more than 500 health care workers. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports the Outbreak of 2014 as the most significant health crisis in modern history.2 In response, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) put out a call for Ebola response workers and hosted a database from which relief organizations could recruit volunteers.

I responded to the call and was selected by Partners in Health, a non-profit or-ganization based in Boston, Massachu-setts. As an Ebola response clinician, I provided care to patients in an Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU), a local govern-ment hospital, and an Ebola survivors’ clinic in Sierra Leone from February to April 2015.

After returning from Sierra Leone, I re-ceived several questions about how to volunteer as a disaster relief nurse in a foreign country. In the U.S., licensure to practice nursing is granted and regulated by state boards of nursing. All states have enacted a Nursing Practice Act (NPA), which guides and governs nursing practice.3 Since Texas is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, nurses who are licensed in Texas have the ability to practice in Texas plus 24 additional states.4 When working in a non-home compact (remote) state, nurses are held accountable to the NPA in the state in which the patient resides or where the practice occurs.4 But, what happens when a nurse practices as a disaster relief nurse outside of the U.S.?

The American Nurses Association (ANA) established guidelines for standards of practice in disaster relief nursing. The overarching principle is that no emer-gency changes the basic standards of practice, code of ethics, competence, or values of the nurse.5 The individual nurse is responsible for giving the best possible care to patients within the avail-able resources. The uniqueness of the disaster environment should guide the nurses’ adaptation of standards of care. A crosswalk of ANA standards with cor-responding Texas Administrative Code (TAC) standards [22 TAC §217.11(1)] re-sulted in the following emerging themes: competency, safety, appropriate care, and infection control (Table 1).6

Competency: Before traveling to a for-eign country as a disaster relief nurse, learn about the culture and the types of injuries, illnesses, or diseases you will likely encounter. To prepare for my work, I learned about the culture of the Sierra Leonean people and read the most cur-rent literature about Ebola and emerging treatments. In Sierra Leone, I attended a 5-day training program developed by WHO and provided in partnership with the International Office of Migration. The

training included classroom instruction about the pathophysiology of Ebola and current treatment protocols. The final two days of training included practice in a simulated ETU and competency check-offs on donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE).

Safety: Assessing the environment for safety concerns is a common practice for nurses in the U.S. At one of the gov-ernment hospitals in Sierra Leone, I per-formed a risk (safety) analysis. I assessed the nurses’ work areas, patient areas, storage areas (supplies, equipment, and medications), and the hospital grounds. Sharps containers were full, gloves were in short supply, handwashing stations were inadequate, and visitor access to patient areas was poorly controlled. The outside spaces were littered with trash and it was common to see stray dogs, goats, and ducks. The risk analysis provided opportunities to teach the local health care workers about patient and environmental safety.

Appropriate Care: The appropriateness of care during a disaster depends on many factors including the type of care needed to stabilize or improve health status, available resources, and cultural norms/practices. Providing appropri-ate care for patients with Ebola was challenging. The mantra in the ETU was “there is no emergency in Ebola.”

This translated to no fast movements and no resuscitation efforts; CPR could not be safely performed while wearing PPE and there was no equipment for advanced life support. Ebola treatment protocols were frequently modified due to direct observations of patient outcomes, the most basic foundation of evidence-based practice.7

Infection Control: The nurse should become familiar with the infectious pathogens and communicable condi-tions endemic to the area in which you plan to travel, and become familiar with all current infection prevention and con-trol measures. Ebola is spread through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or dead body. In Sierra Leone, close contact with others, such as hand-shaking and hugging, was discouraged. Infection control areas were commonly located at the entrance to stores in the city of Freetown, and at various screen-ing checkpoints along the roadways. These areas consisted of hand-washing stations and thermometers.

It is important to ensure personal im-munizations are up-to-date. The Centers for Disease Control provides a complete list of recommended immunizations for travelers by country.8 Proof of yellow fever vaccination was required in order to obtain a travel visa for Sierra Leone. And, due to the prevalence of malaria, all health care workers were encouraged to take medication for malaria prophylaxis and sleep under bed netting.

The legal ability to practice disaster relief nursing in a foreign country depends on the laws, rules, and/or regulations of the individual country. Interested nurses should consider volunteering with an established and reputable relief orga-nization; such organizations are likely to know the specific requirements per country and can assist with necessary travel documents. A current passport is essential. And, remember the basics of disaster relief nursing practice: com-petency, safety, appropriate care, and infection control. Taking care of these preliminary steps will allow the nurse to respond quickly to a call for disaster relief volunteer nurses.

2016 BON Continuing Educational Opportunities

For more information about the educational opportunities or to register online for a workshop, webinar or the online CNE course visit the Board website at www.bon.texas.gov and under Calendar click on Continuing Education Course Catalog.

The Texas Board of Nursing is offering numerous educational opportunities on a variety of topics in 2016. The courses are designed to provide nurses with the most current information to support a safe and legal scope of practice.

In 2013, the 83rd Texas Legislative Session passed a law that specifies new continuing education requirements for all nurses to complete at least 2 hours of continuing ed-ucation related to nursing jurisprudence and ethics before the end of every third, two-year licensing period. The Board’s workshop “Protecting Your Patients and Your Practice” and the online continuing nursing education (CNE) course “Nursing Regulations for Safe Practice” awards contact hours that will satisfy the new requirements for Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics.

Interactive Online CNE Course “Nursing Regulations for Safe Practice”

This interactive online CNE Course is easy to access on any schedule and costs $25.00 (This course meets the two (2) hour CNE requirement for Nursing Jurisprudence and Ethics as required by the 2013 Texas Legis-lature.
