This Board, created by Chapter 172, Acts
of 1904, as amended by Chapter 122, Acts
of 1973, consists of nine members three of
whom must be Licensed Practical Nurses
and six Registered Nurses all appointed by
the Governor upon the recommendation of
the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene
for three-year terms. As vacancies occur,
the Maryland Nurses Association and the
Maryland Licensed Practical Nurses Asso-
ciation, as the case may be, submits to the
Governor and to the Secretary of Health
and Mental Hygiene the names of five of
its members from which the Governor se-
lects 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 renews "Regis-
tered Nurse" and "Licensed Practical Nurse"
licenses biennially. The Board prescribes
standards for nursing education programs
and surveys such programs as is necessary
in order to meet the requirements of the
Board (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art.
43, sees. 290-302; 1975 Supp., Art. 43,
sec. 292).
The Board cooperates with the National
League for Nursing in the preparation of
its State Board Test Pool Licensing Exam-
inations and uses these examinations.

The Board of Examiners of Nursing Home
Administrators was established by Chapter
262, Acts of 1970 to examine, license and
register nursing home administrators.
The Board consists of nine members ap-
pointed by the Governor upon the recom-
mendation of the Secretary of Health and
Mental Hygiene for three-year terms. The
Governor designates the Chairman and the
Vice Chairman, while the Board appoints
the Executive Secretary. The membership
includes four individuals who are actively
engaged in the management and operation
of a nursing home, four persons other than
nursing home administrators who are ac-
tively engaged in professions concerned with
the care of the aged and the chronically ill,
and one member appointed from the general
public who is not engaged in the manage-
ment, ownership, operation or supervision
of any nursing home or hospital.
The Board establishes reasonable fees for
the issuance of licenses and biennial regis-
trations, and enforces standards. It also de-
velops appropriate techniques and proce-
dures for the issuance of licenses and, if
necessary, may establish procedures for the
revocation or suspension of any license. In
addition, the Board establishes rules and
regulations for its operation and conducts
a continuing study of nursing homes and
administrators of nursing homes. The Board
arranges for examinations to be held at times
and places to be determined by it and de-
termines the subjects to be included in ex-
aminations for licensure as well as the train-
ing program necessary for prospective ad-
ministrators (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol.,
Art. 43, sees. 768-780; 1975 Supp., Art.
43, sec. 769).
