The Board of Examiners of Graduate Nurses was created by an act of Assembly May 1, 1903 to regulate the professional nursing of the sick in Virginia. The Board examined applicants, issued licenses and held the power to revoke licenses. At some point the name of the Board was changed to the Board of Examiners of Nurses. An act of Assembly dated March 17, 1970 created the Board of Nursing and repealed the chapter of the Code authorizing the Board of Examiners of Nurses. The new board has similar responsibilites, also including the accreditation of nursing curricula and promulgation of regulations.
The Dept. of Health Regulatory Boards was created by an act passed by the General Assembly on March 31, 1977, to provide administrative services to the health regulatory boards of the state. The boards continue to regulate their professions through the examination, licensing, and disciplining of the practitioners of health science. In 1986, the Dept. of Health Regulatory Boards became the Dept. of Health Professions. Its mission is to enhance the delivery of safe and competent health care by licensing qualified health care professionals, enforcing standards of practice, and providing information to both practitioners and consumers of health care services.
