A Changing Environment: 2016 NCSBN Environmental Scan

Annually, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) publishes an environmental scan. This report captures the current environment in which regulators work in order to help BONs anticipate future needs and plan strategically, and to serve as a resource for nurse leaders in practice and education. Based on information derived from numerous resources, this scan identifies critical information needed for 2016 and beyond.
