Filed as: South Dakota Board of Nursing
The South Dakota Board of Nursing eliminates its requirement to send exam results to nursing schools where applicants graduated, removes the need to issue physical renewal certificates and inactive status cards to licensees, and allows registered nurses to delegate gastrostomy tube insertion and removal to nursing assistants for specific clients living in shared homes where the procedure is routine and complication-free. The board also reorganizes and clarifies its fee structure for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse specialists, with no changes to the actual fee amounts.
