, SBNs have three functions that mirror those of the federal and state
governments:
Executive, with the authority to administer the nursing practice act.
Legislative, with authority to adopt rules necessary to implement the act
(note that rules are different from laws, which are made by the state's
legislative body)
Judicial, with authority to deny, suspend, or revoke a license or to otherwise
discipline a licensee or to deny an application for licensure.
Each of these functions is as broad or limited as the state legislature
specifies in the nursing practice act and related laws.
In most states SBNs have the authority to set and enforce minimum criteria
for nursing education programs.
The most common reason nurses are disciplined by the SBNs is for
practicing while under the influence of alcohol or other substance.

Vital position of theory in nursing education, practice, and research. To
continue the forward movement of nursing, and to improve the quality of
nursing care, nurses must engage in theory generating research. Planning
educational curricula based on nursing knowledge and theory is essential
to further solidifying the foundations of nursing science. (pg. 189)
Theory provides a systematic way of thinking about nursing that is
consistent and guides the decision-making process as data are collected,
analyzed, and used in the planning and administration of nursing practice.
