The Board of Barber Examiners was created in 1904. It is composed
of three members appointed by the Governor for two years. The Board
examines and licenses persons wishing to practice barbering. Exami-
nations for this purpose are held in Baltimore in January, April, July,
and October of each year. The Board also has the power to inspect
all barber shops and to report to the county health officer any unsani-
tary conditions. The Board may suspend the license of any barber
who consistently maintains an unsanitary shop (Code 1961, Art. 43,
sees. 292-305).

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 sufficient cause, the Board, by a majority vote, may revoke any
certificate (Code 1951, Art. 43, sees. 276-292).

The Board cooperates with the National League of Nursing Educa-
tion 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.
