Conditional approval status

If the board determines that a nursing education program does not meet board rules, the program must be notified in writing detailing the deficiencies requiring correction within a given time period set by the board. The board may impose conditional approval for a length of time to be determined by the board but not to exceed two years following the date of written notification. Conditional approval status allows the program to continue to operate while the program corrects the deficiencies and works toward full approval. If at the end of that time period established by the board the deficiencies have not been corrected, board approval shall be withdrawn and a date to discontinue the program shall be set by the board. The deficiencies are evidenced by: 1. The review of the most recent annual report; 2. The most recent survey report; or 3. The program pass rate for first-time writers of the licensing examination fall below an average of eighty percent pass rate for two consecutive fiscal years.
