Historical Note
The Board of Nurses' Examiners was established by a legislative act in 1923 to regulate the practice of nursing in New Mexico (1923 Laws of N.M., Chp. 16, Sec. 1-10). In 1925 the Board was authorized to visit and inspect schools of nursing (1925 Laws of N.M., Chp. 11, Sec. 1-11). In 1937 a legislative act changed the name to Board of Examiners for Graduate Nurses and authorized the Board to prescribe systematic courses of instruction for approved schools of nursing (1937 Laws of N.M., Chp. 200, Sec. 1-14). In 1953 the Nursing Practice Act further defined and regulated the profession of nursing in New Mexico, and changed the Board's name to New Mexico Board of Nursing (1953 Laws of N.M., Chp. 15, Sec. 1-33). In 1986 the administrative functions of the Board of Nursing were placed under the supervision of the Regulation and Licensing Department by Executive Order 86-10. This order was rescinded in 1988 by Executive Order 88-35. The Board is subject to the Sunset Act, which establishes a periodic review and evaluation of the need of continued existence of certain agencies and boards by the Legislature (1981 Laws of N.M., Chp. 241, Sec. 17; 1985 Laws of N.M., Chp. 87, Sec. 2; 1991 Laws of N.M., Chp. 189, Sec. 3-4). The function of the Board of Nursing is to set standards for nursing education, and to conduct examinations or evaluations of nurses to be licensed to practice in New Mexico.
