NCSBN Welcome to the Nursing Profession Booklet
Published 2018

Offered as a free gift to newly licensed nurses in honor of its 40th anniversary, NCSBN created this 50-page booklet as a resource to help nurses better understand nursing regulation and their board of nursing (BON).
This publication was created over a two-year span in collaboration with the Regulatory Innovations Department and Marketing & Communications. An initial edition was printed and released so that nursing students attending the National Student Nurse Association convention (NSNA) would receive it and provide feedback on the content. Now in its second edition, the new nurse booklet is a handbook for new nurses entering the nursing profession. It is provided to anyone who orders it online, free of charge. It includes case studies and quotes about nursing throughout.
We hope to move this publication to a digital format as an app or microsite. Prior to Covid-19, nursing educators provided the feedback that student nurses still prefer printed materials for some of their content, especially content related to regulation and their licensure.
Special finishes/specs: double wire-o bound; soft touch coated cover; pocket fold on inside back cover to include other NCSBN resources. Printed by Continental Web Press in Illinois.
