NCSBN Interactive Timeline Relaunched
NCSBN also presented a redesigned and updated interactive timeline that chronicles its history and contributions to nursing regulation. Drawn from archival sources, the timeline highlights NCSBN’s seminal milestones of the last 40 years. Featuring video and audio clips of interviews with the organization’s founders, Board of Directors presidents, and both past and current executive directors from nursing regulatory bodies, the timeline reveals the story of the organization from its creation in 1978 to the present day.
The timeline is divided into six eras:
- Establishing the Mission-driven Organization (1978-1985)
- Forging New Frontiers with Computerized Adaptive Testing (1986-1994)
- Transforming Regulation Through Technology (1995-2002)
- Promoting Evidence-based Nursing Regulation (2003-2007)
- Collaboration and Outreach (2008-2013); and
- Surging Toward the Future (2014-2018).
Each of these segments includes information about significant milestones, leadership, Delegate Assembly decisions, as well as lists of committee members and award recipients. The timeline is accessible at timeline.ncsbn.org.
