Illinois HB1807 amends nursing education program requirements to ensure competency and safety.

HB1807 revises the Nurse Practice Act to enhance the standards for registered professional nursing education programs in Illinois. The bill mandates that programs maintain national accreditation, establish clear admission and progression policies, and ensure faculty qualifications. It outlines specific faculty requirements, including graduate degrees in nursing and clinical experience. Programs must also develop teach-out plans for students in case of closure and notify the Board of any loss of accreditation.
