BUDGET The Arkansas State Board of Nursing does not receive appropriations of general revenue from the state. Nurse licensure fees constitute the agency s primary financial support. The FY 2016 total revenue was $2,945,699.11. Expenses for the fiscal year totaled $2,963,045.39. Total revenue and expenses includes Board of Nursing operating fund, nursing student loan fund, continuing education workshop fund and criminal background check fund. The Board is required to pay 1.5 percent of revenue fees to the Treasury of the State of Arkansas. These funds are credited to the State s General Fund for appropriation to various other agencies and services of state government. The Board paid $42,520.51 to the General Fund for FY 2016. The financial statements and graphs on the following pages reflect the breakdown of revenue and expenses for the fiscal year 2016. The Nursing Student Loan fund, titled the Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship Loan, is a separate fund used only for the purpose of providing loan/scholarships to nursing students and nurse educator students. The program is funded by donations that are deposited into the designated fund. From these funds, nursing students are awarded loans that can become scholarships if they work in the state of Arkansas for one calendar year after graduation and licensure. The Continuing Education fund is also a separate fund that allows the Board of Nursing to collect registration fees for the educational workshops provided by the Board of Nursing. The designated funds from the registration fees are used to offset the costs associated with providing this service. The Criminal Background Check fund is a separate cash fund the Board uses to collect and submit payments for the federal and state criminal background checks for applicants and employees. This fund was established to allow ASBN to run the background checks online. Online processing shortens the time to receive the results and speeds the application process. The ending balance in the operating fund as of June 30, 2016 was $2,720,727.88. The balance in the NNB (Continuing Education Workshop) Fund was $19,294.85. The balance in the NNB (Nursing Loan) Fund was $133,105.62. The balance in the NNB (Criminal Background Check) Fund was $2,901.16. 2015-2016 ANNUAL REPORT 6 Arkansas State Board of Nursing Income Type Temporary License Reinstatement Fees / Late Penalties Status Watch Penalties / Civil Fines Other Revenue Nursing Student Loan Revenue Miscellaneous Revenue License & Permits Examinations Fees & Scope Variance - Duplicate Deposit Certifications Criminal Background Check Income Applications / Endorsements Criminal Background Check Expense Expense Type Nursing Student Loan Expense INCOME GRAPH July 2015 through July 2016 2.60% 1.07% 0.83% 0.00% 0.84% 1.25% 0.00% 3.76% 3.58% 5.89% 5.27% 9.33% 65.58% 0.00% 10.00% 20.00% 30.00% 40.00% 50.00% 60.00% 70.00% 0.20% 1.75% 0.01% 1.92% 0.11% 0.58% 0.00% 6.31% Percentage of Total Income EXPENSE GRAPH July 2015 through July 2016 CE Workshop Expense 14-Other Refunds 11-Capital Outlay 10-Professional Fees 09-Travel 04-Grants 03-Matching 02-Operating 00-Salaries 16.03% 22.73% 50.36% 0.00% 10.00% 20.00% 30.00% 40.00% 50.00% 60.00% Percentage of Total Expenditures

BUDGET Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship/Loan The ASBN nursing student loan program was established in 2003 and legislatively revised by Act 9 in 2009. The purpose of the program is to provide funding for individuals attending a nursing program which will lead to licensure as a nurse or provide a higher degree in nursing. The goal is to increase the number of nurses in practice settings and faculty in nursing education programs. Representative Tracy Pennartz, the sponsor of the 2009 legislation, supported nursing education and requested emphasis be placed on nurses desiring to teach in an Arkansas nursing education program. Applicants apply for one of two types of scholarship/loan. Applicants entering a nursing program that leads to initial licensure as a nurse or who desire to remain in the practice setting apply for the Practice Loan. Applicants who are already a nurse and currently teach or plan to teach in a nursing program apply for the Educator Loan. Recipients of either loan type may have their loans converted to scholarships according to the terms of the loan. Recipients of the Practice Loan must practice full-time as a nurse in an Arkansas facility one year for each year of the loan and the Educator Loan recipients must teach full-time in an Arkansas nursing program one year for each year of the loan. The amount of funding varies each semester depending on the qualifications of the applicants and amount of money available. The table below demonstrates the amount disbursed for scholarship awards by fiscal year. Since 2010 the majority of loans have been made to individuals living in Pulaski County (21 percent) with Washington County following at 12 percent. Table 1 displays the counties in color where past and current recipients live. Table 1: Recipients by County Educational Programs Nursing education programs attended by the 18 individual recipients of fiscal year 2016, were from a variety of educational levels with the majority of recipients attending a doctorial level program. The table below compares the percent of receipents by type of degree program between fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2016. Loan Recipient Status Each recipient has a nine month grace period following graduation to allow time to secure a nursing position that meets their contract requirements. During this time and while completing their work requirements they are placed in monitoring status. Since 2010, one hundred twenty two (122) individuals have received a scholarship/loan from the Faith A. Fields Scholarship. As noted in the table below, 59 have completed the terms of their scholarship by practicing/teaching in Arkansas. Seven recipients will continue receiving scholarship money for the upcoming fiscal year. Thirty-three individuals are being monitored for compliance with the terms of the loan and 23 are in collections for repayment of the loan due to failure to fulfill the terms of the contract. Loan recipients who fail to complete the nursing program or graduate and do not comply with the terms of the loan (fail to practice or teach in an Arkansas institution) are placed into repayment status. www.arsbn.org 9
BUDGET Faith A. Fields Nursing Scholarship/Loan Compliance with the terms of this scholarship is very high. At the end of fiscal year 2016, 75 percent of the recipients have graduated from a nursing program and work/teach in Arkansas. There are nine recipients who failed to successfully complete their nursing educational program. The recipients who have not updated their status are automatically placed into collections for failure to practice/teach as required by their contract. The maximum funding allowed to any one recipient is $20,000 and one individual reached that maximum prior to graduation. Number of Applicants Fall 2015 Applications for the scholarship/loan are accepted one time each year for the upcoming fall and following spring semester. There were 44 initial applications (39 practice and 5 educator) submitted for the fall 2015 semester. Number and Types of Loans Recipients of the educator loan receive up to $3,000/semester and recipients of the practice loan receive up to $1,200/semester. A total of 34 loans were granted during the reporting period totaling $51,900. For the fall semester, 11 educator loans and seven practice loans were disbursed. The loans awarded for the following spring semester (2016) consisted of a continued funding of nine educator loans and seven practice loans. The table below depicts the amount of funding allocated for the two loan types during the fiscal year. Scholarship Fund Balance The balance in the Faith A. Fields Scholarship/Loan at the beginning of the fiscal year was $166,436.58. Disbursements for the year totalled $51,900. Deposits to the account consisted of $3,623.65 in interest, $4,845.39 in loan repayment and $10,100.00 in contributions for an ending balance of $133,105.62. The graph below represents the fund balance at the end of each fiscal year. The Faith A. Fields Scholarship/Loan program continues to meet its goal of providing money for individuals attending nursing education programs. Interest and donations received each year do not keep up with the annual disbursements. An additional source of revenue will need to be pursued in the future for this program to continue. 10 Arkansas State Board of Nursing

LICENSURE The Nurse Practice Act requires that any person practicing as a(n) Registered Nurse Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Registered Nurse Practitioner Practical Nurse, or Psychiatric Technician Nurse in this state shall be licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. Legislation enacted in 1979 authorized the licensing of registered nurse practitioners. Act 409 of 1995 created advanced practice nurse licensure. This licensure includes the previous categories of certified registered nurse anesthetist and certified nurse midwives and adds licensure of advanced nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists. Appendix B gives totals of nurses licensed in Arkansas by licensure category and county of residence. The information is derived from questions that are completed on the licensure renewal forms. Incomplete data indicates that the licensee did not provide that information. The table below lists the numbers of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses granted initial licensure in Arkansas during the reporting period: Advanced Practice Registered Nurses Licensure July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016 Certified Nurse Practitioners 306 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists 31 Clinical Nurse Specialists 10 Certified Nurse Midwives 2 TOTAL 349 ADVANCED PRACTICE ADVANCED PRACTICE PRESCRIPTIVE AUTHORITY Act 409 of 1995 gave the Board authority to grant certificates of prescriptive authority to qualified advanced practice registered nurses.

Licensure examinations for registered nurse and practical nurse candidates are administered via computerized adaptive testing. State boards of nursing contract with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) for these examinations. In Arkansas, tests are administered by technology centers located in Little Rock, Fort Smith and Texarkana. A candidate may test at any center nationwide or internationally for licensure by the Board that provided authorization to test. The licensure examinations have one purpose: to test knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry level. The use of national RN and PN examinations facilitates licensure by endorsement from one jurisdiction to another. The passing standard is set by a panel of practicing nurses who are knowledgeable of entry-level nursing practice. Membership on the panel is open to all NCSBN jurisdictions. Examination results are reported to boards of nursing and to the candidates as either pass or fail. Unsuccessful candidates are provided with a performance report that gives information on areas for remedial study. The Board participates in the test development system administered by the testing service of the NCSBN. The Arkansas Board approves practicing nurses to participate in RN and PN item writing, item review and standard-setting panel. Graduates of an approved nursing program are eligible for licensure in Arkansas after passing the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX ). The number of registered nurse and licensed practical nurse licenses issued by examination is shown in the following table.

MEDICATION ASSISTANTS - CERTIFIED Act 1423 of 2005 gave the Board authority to grant certification to qualified unlicensed persons to administer certain medications in facilities determined by the Board. The Board decided to allow medication assistants only in Arkansas nursing homes in which nursing supervision is available and nurse patient ratios are legislatively required. This authorization included persons who have met certain qualifications in Arkansas or who have met substantially similar qualifications and held similar credentials under the law in another state. In addition, in 2007, persons who have completed a certain portion of a nursing education program may be eligible to take the certification exam and work as a certified medication assistant if successful. The numbers of medication assistants granted certification and certified renewals in Arkansas during the reporting period is shown in the following table: Medication Assistants - Certified July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016 Medication Assistants-certifed by examination 0 Medication Assistants-certified by endorsement 0 TOTAL 0 Medication Assistants - Certified Renewals July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016 Medication Assistants-Certified 8 TOTAL 8 RENEWALS The Nurse Practice Act requires biennial license renewal for practicing nurses.

Continuing education for license renewal and reinstatement was mandated by Act 86 of the 2001 Arkansas legislative session. The regulations were put into effect beginning July 1, 2003. Random audits for compliance with the continuing education requirements are conducted. One hundred forty-three nurses were audited with a 99 percent compliance rate. Eleven Letters of Warning were issued for meeting the continuing education requirements after the nursing license was renewed. One Letter of Reprimand was issued for failing to meet the continuing education requirements.

EDUCATION The Arkansas State Board of Nursing has statutory authority to oversee nursing educational program compliance with mandated regulations and educational standards as established by the Arkansas legislature. A nursing program that is approved initially progresses through a three- tiered process of approval that includes Prerequisite Approval, Initial Approval and Full Approval. A nursing program that is approved continues to be reviewed for continued compliance with the educational standards as delineated in the Rules. The staff periodically conducts a program review to verify compliance. A new program has an on site survey three (3) years after initial full approval. Established programs have an on-site survey every five (5) years or if they have continued accreditation status from a national nursing accreditation organization and maintain a National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX ) passage rate of 75 percent or higher; they are allowed to submit a paper survey to ASBN versus an on-site review. There are two (2) approval designations for established programs that prepare graduates for licensure that include Continued Full Approval and Conditional Approval.
