This Board, created by the General Assembly of 1904, consists of
five members appointed by the Governor for three-year terms. As
vacancies occur, the Maryland State Nurses Association submits to the
Governor the names of five of its members from which he selects
appointees. The Board examines all applicants for registration as
"Registered Nurse" and as "Licensed Practical Nurse" and issues the
proper certificates. It keeps a register of the names of all "Registered
Nurses" and all "Licensed Practical Nurses" which is open at all
reasonable times to public scrutiny. The Board visits hospitals and
schools of nursing and approves the programs in nursing education
carried on in these schools (Code 1957, Art. 43, sees. 290-310). _

The Board cooperates with the National League for Nursing in the
preparation of its State Board Test Pool Licensing Examinations and
uses these examinations.
