The Board consists of five members appointed by the Governor for
terms of three years. As vacancies occur, the Maryland State Nurses
Association submits to the Governor the names of five of its members
from which appointees must be selected. It is the duty of the Board
to examine all applicants for registration as "Registered Nurse" and
to issue the proper certificate. It is also the duty of the Board to
examine applicants for the license "Licensed Practical Nurse," and to
issue the proper certificate. A register of the names of all nurses
registered and licensed is kept open to the public. The Board visits
hospitals, and schools of nursing, and concerns itself with the course
of study and nursing education carried on in these schools. For suffi-
cient cause, the Board, by a majority vote, may revoke any certificate
(Code 1939, Art. 43, sees. 287-296).

The Board cooperates with the National League of Nursing Edu-
cation by contributing to its test pool and using its examinations and
with. the State Board of Education by making practical use of its
Equivalent Examination.
