## Text

An institution desiring to conduct a nursing educational program to prepare professional or practical nurses shall apply to the board and submit evidence that: It is prepared to carry out the prescribed minimum standards to educate students in professional nursing or in practical nursing and that it is prepared to meet such other standards as shall be established by this chapter or by the board.

The board shall cause a survey to be made of the institution and its proposed educational program. If the survey reveals and the board is of the opinion that all requirements for an approved nursing educational program are met, it shall approve the institution.

The board, as often as deemed necessary, shall survey all nursing educational programs in the state. Should such survey reveal that the institution conducting such nursing educational program is not maintaining the standards required by the board, notice shall be given to the institution in writing, specifying deficiencies. Should an institution fail to correct the deficiencies to the satisfaction of the board within a reasonable length of time, the board shall disapprove the nursing educational program of such institution; provided, the institution may again qualify for approval if all requirements and standards are met.
