Tennessee Nursing Education Integrity and Oversight Act establishes standards for out-of-state nursing programs.

The Tennessee Nursing Education Integrity and Oversight Act establishes a moratorium on the approval of out-of-state nursing education programs. It requires the Tennessee Center for Nursing Advancement to develop new standards for these programs, including verification of preceptors and Tennessee residents, annual reporting, and data collection. The Board of Nursing must ensure sufficient capacity to evaluate and monitor all nursing programs. The act also mandates annual public reports on out-of-state programs using Tennessee clinical sites.
