LSBN is a member of which national organization?

• A. National Council of State Boards of Nursing
• B. Joint Commission
• C. American Nurses Association
• D. National League for Nursing

Answer: (A)

State regulatory boards coordinate licensure and standardization across the profession, and LSBN fits into a national network that brings together all state boards. The Louisiana State Board of Nursing is a member of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which unites boards from across the country to develop and administer the licensure process (including the NCLEX), share regulatory resources, and promote consistent nursing regulation nationwide. The other organizations have different roles: the Joint Commission focuses on accrediting healthcare facilities, the American Nurses Association is a professional association for nurses, and the National League for Nursing concentrates on nursing education and assessment. So, the best answer is the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
