Assembly Bill 294 proposes changes to the composition of the Board of Nursing in Wisconsin. Currently, the board consists of nine members, including five licensed registered nurses, one licensed practical nurse, one individual who is either a registered or practical nurse, and two public members. The bill amends this structure to reduce the number of registered nurses to three and introduces new roles, including one currently certified advanced practice nurse prescriber and one nurse educator.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that two of the current registered nurse members whose terms expire first must be replaced by the newly designated advanced practice nurse prescriber and nurse educator. This change aims to diversify the expertise on the board and ensure that it reflects a broader range of nursing practices and education.
