Nurse Immigration | NCSBN Signs MOU’s with Int’l Nursing Regulatory Bodies

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
CHICAGO, IL, May 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
In keeping with its vision to advance regulatory excellence worldwide, the National Council of State Boards 
of Nursing (NCSBN(R)) (www.ncsbn.org) announces the signing of a "Memorandum of Understanding" between 
itself and the following organizations: An Bord Altranais; College of Nurses of Ontario; College of 
Registered Nurses of British Columbia; Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia; Nursing Council of
New Zealand; Nursing & Midwifery Council - United Kingdom; and Singapore Nursing Board on May 5, 2011.

The impetus for this collaboration arose out of an acknowledgement that nursing regulatory bodies across
the world face many of the same challenges; are charged with the similar mission of protecting the 
public's health, safety and welfare; and have a desire to share best practices. The unique relationship 
between these organizations provides the opportunity for them to learn from, share with, and assist each other
with individual and mutual goals. The unique relationship between these organizations provides the 
opportunity for them to learn from, share with, and assist each other with individual and mutual goals.
NCSBN will also take the information gained through this new international relationship back to its 
own member boards of nursing for use in their mission of public protection.
