Summary
HB 1278 changes two parts of Indiana’s nursing regulations. It requires the Indiana State Nurses Association to send the governor a list of qualified nurses—at least twice the number of open seats—whenever a board vacancy occurs or a term ends. It also lets nursing programs that have been operating for five years or more increase their enrollment without a set limit, and newer programs may grow enrollment up to 100%.
