FOREWORD
The New Mexico Board of Nursing is pleased to present its Annual Report to the Governor for FY13 (July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013) pursuant to the New Mexico Nursing Practice Act Chapter 61, Article 3 section 1 through 31, NMSA-1978.
The New Mexico Board of Nursing (Board) was enacted in June 1923, and is a regulatory agency directly reportable to the Executive office of the Governor. The Board of Nursing is supported solely by self-generated fees and is a fully self-funded agency.
The Board was established with the mission to “Protect the public safety through effective regulation of nursing care and services” and the vision of the Board is “Excellence in Regulatory Practice”. The strategic goals of the Board are to: (1) Advance Nursing Systems; (2) Maximize Effectiveness in Public Protection; and (3) Maximize Effectiveness in Customer Service.
The Board’s regulatory responsibilities include: issuing licenses and certificates for practice in the state; monitoring licensees and certificate holders; and taking disciplinary action against licensees or certificate holders who are not in compliance with state statutes, or who exhibit unsafe practice. The regulatory process assures citizens of New Mexico that nurses, hemodialysis technicians, and medication aides have met minimum competency requirements through testing and licensing and ongoing demonstration of competency through renewal requirements. As a means to safeguard the public, the Board also
administers the Diversion Program for nurses whose competencies may be impaired because of the abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Workforce supply data within the report is provided on:
Registered nurses
Licensed practical nurses
Nurses in advanced practice (nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse specialists)
Certified medication aides
Certified hemodialysis technicians.
The workforce supply data presented is collected from initial nurse licensure and license renewal applications from all licensed nurses (LPN, RN, and Advanced Practice Nurses) and certification
applications for medication aides and hemodialysis technicians in the state. The data is reported for FY13: from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
The Annual Report to the Governor is distributed to all state libraries through the New Mexico State Document Depository Clearinghouse, or may be downloaded on the New Mexico Board of Nursing Website: www.bon.state.nm.us.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The New Mexico Board of Nursing protects the public through effective and transparent regulation of nursing and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) care and services. Staff members use established Statutes and Rules to perform the regulatory activities of providing testing for state certification, program approval for medication aides and hemodialysis technicians, approval of nursing education programs in NM, and licensure and discipline processes. For the benefit of the public, the Board also promotes the rehabilitation of nurses with substance use disorders through the Diversion Program. All funding for carrying out regulatory operations and responsibilities is generated through licensing and program fees.
By Statute, the Board is required to meet at least once every three months and special meetings may be called by the Chair or by the written request of three or more members of the Board. During the fiscal year July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, the Board of Nursing conducted six (6) scheduled disciplinary and regular business meetings and four rules hearings. In FY13, the Board held disciplinary hearings and a business meeting every other month.
In FY13 the Board had 19,820 active RN licenses and 1,371 active APRN licenses and 2,800 active LPN licenses within NM, for a total of 23,991 active nursing licenses in NM. There were 5,372 active RN licenses, 598 APRN licenses, and 223 active LPN licenses residing outside of NM for a total of 6,193. The grand total of active NM licenses is 30,184. The data is reflective of those RNs and LPNs currently working, nurses who have retired but who have maintained their licensure, and those nurses who are licensed but not currently employed. In FY13 the Board had 398 CMA I, 7 CMA II, 354 CHT I, 96 CHT II for a total of 855 Active UAP Certificate holders. For more comprehensive licensure and certificate data, please see page 33 and 34.

In FY13, the Board conducted 174 audits to determine compliance with continuing education during the renewal period by those holding licenses or certificates in the state. A separate page details the outcomes of these audits.
The New Mexico Nursing Practice Act 63-3-1 (NMSA) and subsequent Rules and Regulations define the scope of practice and outline unacceptable conduct. When a licensee’s conduct or practice is questioned, the Board has the duty and authority to investigate.
In FY13 the Board received 235 formal complaints, plus an additional 88 complaints generated from license applications, for a total of 323 complaints. All 235 formal complaints were reviewed and 4 were determined to have no infraction of the Nurse Practice Act. The board approved delegation provided 48 voluntary letters of reprimand and 40 serious letters of concern to settle the 88 licensure complaints. Of the remaining 231 complaints, seventy (70) were offered the Diversion Program as an alternative to formal discipline and 17 entered the Diversion Program (any declination of the Diversion Program was subsequently returned to investigation). Of the remaining 214 complaints, three (3) complaints were referred to other agencies. Of the 211 remaining complaints, all were forwarded for investigation and 116 complaints were completed and referred to the Board for disposition. During FY13, the Board of Nursing took disciplinary action on 329 cases.
During FY13, the New Mexico Board of Nursing approved four rules changes. On October 19, 2012 the Board had a formal rules hearing on 16.12.1 Nurse Licensure adding the workforce data collection to comply with HB 14, and included the addition of APRN to each advanced practice license, as well as other clean up language. On October 19, 2012 the Board had a formal rules hearing on 16.12.9 Management of Chronic Pain with Controlled Substances, adding language to comply with SB 215 which added requirements for prescribers in treating patients with opiate pain medication. Both rules revisions were approved with no public comment. On December 14, 2012, the Board of Nursing had a formal rules hearing on 16.12.3, Nursing Educational Programs, adding clearer and more concise language on nursing program minimum standards and other clean up language. After public comment, the board recommended two revisions and the revised rules were approved. On June 14, the Board had a formal rules hearing on 16.12.6 Nurse Licensure Compact, increasing the time allowed for nurses to change their primary state of residence from another party state from thirty (30) days to ninety (90) days. The rules revision was approved with no public comment.

FY13 FINANCIAL REPORT
The Board successfully met all operational and statutory requirements for FY13 within the operating budget. The FY12 audit was presented to the State Auditor on December 15, 2012. The NM BON received an unqualified opinion with no findings. The NM BON has contracted with the Hinkle & Landers, P.C. for the FY13 audit due to the State Auditor by December 15, 2013.The Operating Budget is prepared and approved in May of every year. The below schedule is a comparison between the FY13 Operating Budget and FY13 Actual Budget. In FY13, the sources (revenues) were lower than the uses (expenditures) which produced a net loss. The Fund balance represents the amount needed to balance the budget and is not the Fund Balance as of June 30, 2013.
The NM BON FY13 actual budget compared to operating budget is as follows:
Revenue received for FY13 was $1,613,668 from
all sources. Ninety percent (92%) of revenues received was from licensure and examination fees; ten percent (8%) of revenue received was from other sources which included: disciplinary fines, certification fees for Hemodialysis technicians and medication aides, interest on the cash balance and miscellaneous fees.
Total actual expenditures for FY13 were $2,099,387. Salaries and benefits with 17 FTE represent fifty percent (55%) of the operating budget, while operational costs and contractual services represent fifty percent (45%) of all costs.
The difference between revenues recognized of $1,613,668 and expenditures of $2,099,387 was $485,719 net loss transferred from fund balance. The fund balance carried into FY14 is $985,840.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE
REPORTS
The New Mexico Board of Nursing is authorized in 61-3-10 NMSA 1987 to appoint/establish Advisory Committees to assist in the performance of its duties. During FY13 the Board maintained 5 Advisory Committees: the Advanced Practice Advisory Committee, the Nursing Education Advisory Committee, the Nursing Practice Advisory
Committee, the Hemodialysis Technician Advisory Committee, and the Medication Aide Advisory Committee. These committees allowed the Board to engage nurse leaders and draw upon their collective expertise.
Advanced Practice Advisory Committee
The Advanced Practice Advisory Committee is composed of advanced practice nurses representing Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Nurse Practitioners, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists from different geographical sites across the state. The committee met four times in FY13. The Executive Director has continued to be the assigned staff member to this committee. The committee currently has 3 Clinical Nurse Specialists, 7 Certified Nurse Practitioners, and 4 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists. The Board member liaison during FY13 for the AP committee was Kathy Lopez-Bushnell, RN, CNP, Ed.D.
Major activities for FY13 included:
Completed rules revisions to 16.12.2 Nurse Licensure. These revisions added the acronym “APRN” before each of the advanced practice titles of CRNA, CNP and CNS, and also added the language for healthcare work force data collection to comply with HB 14, and other clarifying language to 16.12.2 Nurse Licensure. These rules revisions were presented to the Board of Nursing on 8-17-12, and approved by the Board of Nursing in a formal rules hearing on October 19, 2012.
Members of the AP committee also participated in the board sponsored opiate collaborative committee which met to revise rules on 16.12.9 Management of Chronic Pain with
Controlled Substances to comply with SB 215. These rules were presented to the Board on August 17, 2012, and approved by the Board of Nursing in a formal rules hearing on October 19, 2012.
Review of the NPA 61-3-6 administration of anesthetics which “prohibits any person, other than a person licensed to practice medicine, osteopathy, dentistry or a CRNA to administer anesthetics to any person. There is no prohibition for a person currently licensed from using hypnosis or from administering local anesthetics or moderate sedation.” The committee reviewed and approved statutory language which was presented to the BON for approval, to accommodate changes in nursing practice in critical care settings with mechanically
ventilated patients. The statutory revision would add language inserted after CRNA that states: “or other nurses with the appropriate credentials as authorized by the Board of
Nursing through rules and regulations”. Due to advances in technology and rapidly changing pharmaceutical agents, the AP committee has also recommended statutory changes to delete the requirement for Advanced Practice nurses to maintain written formulary. All
10
revisions as approved by the BON in these statutory changes were submitted in a legislative bill during the 2013 legislature. Due to unforeseen opposition, the bill was withdrawn.
The AP committee continued to develop language in BON rules and regulations to limit the use of anesthetics agents to nurses with the appropriate credentials as authorized by the BON to certain critical care settings where airway protection and rescue equipment is available. This language will specify rules that will ensure the protection of the public with the use of anesthetic agents. The committee will continue to develop clear language prior to submitting rules changes regarding this issue in 2014.
Supported the exemption of nurses from the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Health and Safety Act 61-14E1-12 NMSA 1978, legislation as it does other health care providers from the requirements of this law. Compromise language was reached during 2013
legislature to exclude nurses from this legislation and ensure the board maintains regulatory authority over nursing practice.
Reviewed and continue to support adoption of the APRN Consensus Model proposed by NCSBN.
Began to develop frequently asked questions (FAQs) on APRN practice issues. These FAQs will be placed on the website for easy access after development.
The committee has continued to work on rules changes to ensure that rules keep pace with technological advances in nursing care and competent practice. These rules changes will include updated language and more accurate delineation of the roles of AP nurses.
During FY13, two rules changes were recommended to and approved by the Board of Nursing by the Advanced Practice Committee. One was the revision to16.12.2: Nurse Licensure, adding the APRN to titles, and workforce data collection, approved by the Board of Nursing on 10-19-12, and the other was the revision to 16.12.9:Management of Chronic Pain with Controlled Substances, increasing requirements for prescribers of opiates, which was also approved by the Board of Nursing on 10-19-12.
Nursing Education Advisory Committee
The Nursing Education Advisory Committee (NEAC) consists of twelve members with strong expertise in nursing education. The committee is staffed by the Associate Director of
Education/UAP, and the Board Member Liaison is Dr. Robin Jones. The NEAC assists the Board in monitoring and regulating the twenty eight Board approved nursing institutions. This ensures the nursing programs are meeting the Board requirements and maintaining standards for quality nursing education. The NEAC met formally 6 times in FY13.
The committee members participated in the requisite site visits for new and ongoing program
approvals throughout the state. Annual reports required from all approved programs in the state were reviewed, as well as the corrective action plans required from schools that are on conditional
approval, and/or do not meet the minimum NCLEX pass rate of 80% or above. The NEAC also reviewed materials and made recommendations to the Board on curriculum change requests.
Members of the committee have also worked on the NM Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC) development of curriculum, as well as policies and procedures for students in the new statewide BSN program. The new NMNEC curriculum allows students to say in their home communities, be educated at their community colleges (or universities), and thereby increase both the level of preparedness and numbers of BSN/RNs throughout state.
The Committee continued to solicit and submit articles (4) featuring nursing educational programs throughout the state for News & Views.

Diversion Program
Fiscal Year 2013
7/1/2012 to 6/30/2013
The Diversion Program (DP) is a confidential, voluntary alternative to formal disciplinary action for nurses with substance use disorders in the state of New Mexico. The Diversion Program enhances public protection by providing early intervention and admission into a monitoring program along with intense scrutiny of compliance with contract requirements to ensure safe nursing practice. The Diversion Program was created by a legislative amendment to the Nursing Practice Act in 1987, section 61-3-29.1.
The purpose of the Diversion Program is to monitor nurses in the first months and years of their recovery and track compliance with their sobriety and recovery work. It is not the intent of the program to provide treatment or therapy to nurses with substance use disorders. However, the initial five year contract signed by all participants requires them to receive a minimum of intensive outpatient treatment for substance use disorders. The program provides a strict external structure of recovery for nurses whose lives have become unmanageable due to their substance use. The goal of the Diversion Program is to enable these nurses to integrate this structure internally and be able to manage their life effectively again. When this has been accomplished, the nurse is ready for discharge. The primary objectives of the Diversion Program are:
1. To identify nurses with substance use disorders early in the disease process. 2. To direct nurses into treatment and/or assessment for substance use disorders.
3. To keep the recovering nurse productive by remaining in practice or returning to practice as soon as possible.
4. To monitor the nurses’ recovery and limit practice to assure that the nurse is a safe practitioner.
5. To report non-compliance and/or relapse to the Board of Nursing.
6. To educate the public and nursing profession about substance use disorders and unsafe practice.
Admissions into the Diversion Program tend to fluctuate from year to year. There are currently 130 nurses enrolled in the Diversion Program. The following chart represents the yearly admissions from January 2008 through June 30, 2013.

Statistically, we know that out of 28,215 nurses licensed in New Mexico, a conservative estimate of 10 percent will have substance use disorders (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2008). This estimate indicates that there are possibly 2,821 nurses currently practicing who may have substance use disorders due to the regular or habitual use of drugs or alcohol. Assuming a few have sought and found recovery through means other than the DP, there are still a significant number of nurses who need intervention that remain unidentified and untreated. Current research reinforces that most health care professionals who need treatment do not get identified or referred to treatment. This treatment gap continues to be a concern in the research and treatment community. The challenge remains for health care communities to identify, intervene and refer nurses with substance use disorders to treatment and/or diversion programs or regulatory agencies.
Nurses are referred into the Diversion Program in one of three ways:
1. A nurse may report his/her own problem with drugs/alcohol and voluntarily request admission.
2. A nurse may accept admission into the DP following the receipt of a formal complaint against his/her license.
3. A nurse may accept admission into the DP at the request of the Board of Nursing, or as a provision for reinstatement of the license.
In FY 2013, 17 out of the 19 nurses admitted to the DP requested admission subsequent to the receipt of a formal complaint or disciplinary action from another state. This reflects the cost effectiveness of the DP in that these admissions bypassed the high cost of a full investigation and administrative hearings. The estimated cost of an investigation is $2,000.00 per case. This equals a cost savings of $34,000.
There have been a total of 325 nurses successfully discharged from the DP since 1987. This provides a measure of success of the DP in that successful discharges indicate nurses who have been drug and alcohol free for a minimum of three full years, who have consistently demonstrated their recovery efforts and compliance, and thus their ability to be safe practitioners.

Outreach and education for health care providers, the workplace and educational facilities continues to be a priority for the Diversion Program. These activities assist in counter acting the strong negative stigma and the treatment gap that occurs with those who have substance use disorders. The Diversion Program continues to rely on the workplace, supervisors, and charge nurses to identify, intervene, and refer nurses with substance use disorders to the Board of Nursing and the Diversion Program.
Since 1992, the Diversion Program Coordinator has developed and promoted an annual conference covering current research and interventions for health care professionals with substance use disorders. Volunteer speakers are experts in their field and address a variety of topics covering the wide spectrum of recovery and work place intervention and management of health care professionals. Topics include the medical and biochemical aspects of substance use disorders, motivational interviewing techniques, and signs and symptoms of substance use disorders in the workplace. This conference provides continuing education credits and invaluable information to nurses on the identification, referral, and return to work for health care professionals with substance use disorders. The June 2013 annual Diversion Program conference had 52 attendees.
The Diversion Program continues to be an effective public service tool to assist in the identification, referral to treatment, monitoring, and return to safe practice for nurses with substance use disorders and continues to enhance the public protection mission of the Board of Nursing.

INVESTIGATIONS AND
DISCIPLINE
The New Mexico Board of Nursing regulates nursing practice, education and the practice of RNs, LPNs, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Medication Aides and Certified Hemodialysis Technicians for the protection of the citizens of New Mexico.
In its role as a regulatory body, the Board is responsible for conducting hearings upon charges related to violations of the Nursing Practice Act, Section 61-3-1 through 61-3-31 NMSA, 1978 and its rules. The Board of Nursing has a full time nurse investigator on staff to investigate complaints and allegations of violations of the Nursing Practice Act. Additionally, the Board has an administrative attorney on contract. This combination has ensured timely investigations. Cases can be brought before the Board in an expeditious manner to ensure resolution to protect the public and achieve a course of action that prevents repeat occurrences.
In FY13 the Board dealt with disciplinary cases that were practice related, drug related, and dealt with issues surrounding abuse and fraud. The Board considers all alleged violations based on the merits of each case and the potential danger to the public and has taken actions with public safety as a priority.
During FY13 changes were made to the Board website in an effort to make the complaint process more understandable to the Public and the nursing community. Additionally, to make the complaint process easier for those wishing to file a complaint, the Board website includes online access to the complaint form with instructions for use. We now accept scanned, emailed and faxed complaints.
The Board has continued to promote a transparent disciplinary process. Disciplinary hearings are conducted in accordance with the “Open Meetings Act” NMSA 1978, Chapter 10, Article 15 and all disciplinary actions are listed on the Board website and published in the Board newsletter quarterly.
New Mexico is a member of the national Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC); see NCSBN website at www.ncsbn.org. This arrangement enables nursing practice across state lines and has proven beneficial for New Mexico to recruit nurses and promote New Mexico as a desirable place to practice. The Nurse Licensure Compact does necessitate close interaction between states however, when issues of discipline are considered. To that end, in FY13, the Board has increased scrutiny of and communication with other states in an effort to ensure safety of the public. Utilization of national data bases and increased communication with other Boards has ensured timely identification of action taken by other states that may have implications for licensing and practice in New Mexico. This communication includes daily discipline alerts notifying State Boards of Nursing.
28
The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) have combined and serve as a repository of information on healthcare providers in the United States. The Federal law requires that adverse actions taken against health care providers be reported within 30 days, and any summary suspension or suspension be reported within 48 hours. The Board has worked with HRSA to reconcile gaps and missing data regarding disciplinary action taken in New Mexico.
The Board is responsible for promoting, preserving and protecting the public health, safety and welfare through the adoption of rules that allow licensees and certificate holders to function safely and competently within the parameters of their license/certificate. The Board is also responsible for ensuring that licensees and certificate holders have access to the laws and rules governing nursing in order that they may function within the legal boundaries of the nursing practice act and its rules.

CERTIFIED MEDICATION AIDE PROGRAMS
The Nursing Practice Act authorizes the Board of Nursing to approve medication aide training programs and certify medication aides, 61-3-10.2 NMSA 1978. Certified Medication Aides administer medications in a variety of health care settings such as, Intermediate Care Facility for Intellectually/Developmentally Delayed (ICF/IDD) and Medicaid Waiver Program (DD Waiver), Long Term Care (LTC), and Public Schools. Under supervision of a licensed Nurse, Certified Medication Aides administer routine medications with the exception of intravenous, nasogastric and intramuscular routes. In addition, Certified Medication Aides training programs have expanded the scope of function of Certified Medication Aides II to include insulin administration. The CMA II must meet specific criteria according to 16.12.5 NMAC.
The Medication Aide Certification Examination is administered six (6) times per year to those individuals who have successfully completed a board approved training program.
