It was established by the General Assembly of 1903 for the purpose of main- taining a satisfactory level of competency within the nursing profession.  Primary functions of the board involved the examination and licensing of qualified candidates.  For due cause, the board could revoke a license following a full hearing and a majority vote by the board.  The five-member board consisted of two physicians and three registered nurses who were to be elected by the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina and the North Carolina State Nurses' Association respectively.  Members served terms of three years.  In 1917 the  legislature reestablished the board and made it identical in composition to its predecessor.  Under terms of the new legislation, however, the board was empowered to frame and enforce regulations and to use its own seal. The General Assembly of 1925 repealed the consolidated statutes pertaining to the board and re-created the board under the new name of Board of Nurse Examiners of North Carolina--later referred to in legislation as North Carolina Board of Nurse Examiners.  Composed of five members, the board was to include three registered nurses elected by the North Carolina State Nurses' Association, and one representative each from the North Carolina State Hospital Association and the medical society.  The new board retained all powers granted its predecessors. Additionally, the legislature established a standards committee to advise the board on matters including the classification and standardization of schools of nursing. In a legislative act of 1947, the General Assembly enlarged the board to include three practical nurses appointed by the Practical Nurses Association of Durham and the Undergraduate and Practical Nurses Organization, Inc.  Their participation on the board, however, was limited to matters relating to the examination, licensing, and regulation of undergraduate and practical nurses. In 1953 the legislature repealed all codified statutes petaining to the current board and created the North Carolina Board of Nurse  Registration and Nursing Education.  It consisted of nine members, all  of whom were to be appointed and commissioned by the governor.  Of these,  five members were to be registered nurses who were licensed to practice  within the state.  Two members were to be physicians experienced in  teaching nurses and two were to be representatives from hospitals which  operated schools of nursing.  Under terms of the legislative act, powers  of the boards were expanded, particularly in the areas of license  regulation and school curriculum development and accreditation.  In an   act of 1955, the legislature gave the board the new designation of North  Carolina Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education Enlarged. The legislature of 1965 transferred all functions of the board to a  body it named the North Carolina Board of Nursing.  Similar in  composition to its predecessor, the board's membership was increased to  twelve.  Its three new members were to be licensed practical nurses. Their participation on the board, however, was limited to actions which  affected practical nursing.  Terms of all members were increased to four  years.  Under this legislation, known as the Nurse Practice Act, the  board's functions now included monitoring all courses which prepared  students for licensing examinations.  It also empowered the board to  employ an executive director and other personnel and agents deemed  necessary carry out provisions of the act.  In 1973 legislation was  passed permitting the board to work with the Board of Medical Examiners in establishing regulations for registered nurses performing certain medical procedures. In an effort to reform state licensing and regulatory agencies, the General Assembly of 1977 created the Governmental Evaluation Commission, also known as the Sunset Commission.  In its review, the commission concluded that the Board of Nursing should continue, but with certain modifications.  Several of its recommendations were implemented in a legislative act of 1981.  Under that legislation, the governor was to appoint two lay members to represent the public at large.  Terms of office were changed to three years and limited to two consecutive terms. Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil liability was granted to those who in good faith reported any violation of the Nurse Practice Act. With the exception of those protected by the preceding provision, all in violation of this legislation could be charged with a misdemeanor. The legislation of 1981 made other significant changes in the board's composition and its appointment procedures.  Positions once held by physicians and hospital administrators were abolished as soon as incumbents had completed their terms of office.  In addition to the two public members, the board would now consist of nine registered nurses and four licensed practical nurses.  These were to be selected in a  state-wide election in which all registered nurses and licensed practical nurses could vote for representatives from their respective fields. Those elected were then commissioned by the governor. The General Assembly of 1983 provided for regulation of midwifery  under the Midwifery Practice Act.  It would be administered by a joint  sub-committee of the Board of Nursing and Board of Medical Examiners.  In 1989 the Board of Nursing was empowered to establish and maintain a Nurses Aides' Registry, and in 1990 all legislation relevant to the board was consolidated and recodified as the Nursing Practice Act.
